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 Romani 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. I have written about the education for Roma and Travellers, antigypsyism/anti-Roma racism, migration, lgbtqi, and the forced assimilation of Travellers in Norway. I lead a NIKK-funded book project about queer Roma and Travellers in the Nordic countries (2022-2024), and the RCN-funded project MEMOROBIA: Memorialisation of Romani enslavement in territories of contemporary Romania.
