Current research interests:

• sustainability in higher education, especially transgressive teaching in climate change and activism
• generative AI in higher education
• the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)

Past research areas: 

• in university pedagogy: university teachers' and students' emotions, interaction and learning at academic conferences, and online student evaluation of teaching
• in psychology: implicit associations, the emotion relief and the cognitive processing of negated information

University Pedagogy/Educational Development/Hochschuldidaktik: I am currently teaching at the Program for University Pedagogy at the University of Bergen. Here, I am (co-)teaching the following courses:

• UPED 600: Introduction to Teaching at University and Course Design (English/Norwegian)
• UPED 601: Documenting and Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness (English/Norwegian)
• UPED 602: Pedagogical Project (English/Norwegian)

• UPED 689: Student Motivation (English)
• UPED 691: Becoming a Supervisor (English)
• UPED 695: Project Management for Bachelor and Master Thesis Supervision (English)

Since fall 2023, I am teaching university pedagogy courses at the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS).

In addition, I facilitate educational development courses at other European universities.

University Teaching: In the past, I have taught in psychology both from a basic and an applied perspective, among others:

• Educational Psychology (Paderborn University, University of St.Gallen)
• Emotion (Paderborn University)
• Interaction in Leadership Situations (University of St.Gallen)
• Pedagogical Project in Teacher Practicum (Paderborn University)

Student Supervision: I have supervised ca. 30 bachelor and master theses and have been involved in eight PhD supervision processes and committees.
