Maren Seehawer

I am an Associate Professor of International Education and Development at MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society. In my PhD, I conducted collaborative research with South African science teachers who integrated students’ indigenous knowledge into their everyday classroom practice. While maintaining strong research relationships in South(ern) Africa, I have also begun to explore the Nordic context, bringing comparative perspectives between these regions into my work.

My current research focuses on two interconnected areas: research methodology and ethics, and the intersections of the knowledge crisis and the climate crisis. At MF, I teach research methodology and social sciences across all levels. I am responsible for the M.A. in Democratic Preparedness. I supervise bachelor and master’s students at MF, as well as a PhD student at the University of Namibia. Together with Merethe Skårås, I co-lead the research group Researching Education in a Globalised World.
