My teaching philosophy emphasises critical thinking, active participation, and connecting sociological concepts to everyday experiences. I encourage students to question taken-for-granted assumptions, examine social inequalities, and understand how individual experiences are shaped by wider social structures and relationships.

I have taught courses in quantitative and qualitative research methods, political ecology, sustainable transformation, and sociology at the University of Agder. I have also contributed to teaching sociological theory, environmental sociology, and survey research at the University of Saskatchewan.

I particularly enjoy helping students develop research questions, understand sociological theories, analyse data, and communicate their findings. I aim to create an inclusive learning environment where students can draw on their different experiences and perspectives.
