Reasearch / work
My main areas of interest concern the study of sustainability issues. More recently, I have been interested in didactic aspects of teaching about sustainable development, e.g., the tension between democracy and the advocacy of sustainable development. I am also interested in the study of school organizational aspects to promote teaching about sustainable development. I have previously also studied, for example, the organization and interpretation of environmental problems by political actors and political institutions and their own responsibility for managing them, the relationship between individuals' environmental behavior and politics and administration at different levels, but also more psychological factors of importance for people's environmental attitudes and behavior.
