Professional competence areas:
- Education and conflict
- Intercultural education
- The Roma minority
I research and teach in the field of education, with expertise in peace education, intercultural education, and critical Roma studies. In recent years, my research has mainly focused on the minorities Roma and Travellers, in Norway and globally. My focus is on critical analyses of social structures that affect Roma and Travellers's life opportunities, and I am concerned that research should contribute to change and social justice. Among other things, I have written about discourses in educational research on Roma, the educational situation of Roma, antigypsyism/anti-Roma racism, media exposure and migration.
I lead the research group "Critical Romani Studies", and am a member of the groups "Researching education in a globalized world" and "Migration, minorities and marginalization"
