Background
Besides my academic background, I have almost four years of experience in interdisciplinary research at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Sciences and Humanities (CEIICH) in Mexico, where I worked as a research and project assistant within the program “The world in the twenty first century.” Our topics of research were geopolitics, geo-economics, globalization and its connection to scarce natural resources access and use, ecological crisis, as well as the links between technology and sustainability.
Studying social changes, injustices and inequalities on a global and local level is among my greatest interests. I have spent my entire adult life teaching and holding workshops for youth and adults. I have done this in various contexts, including civil society organizations, municipal schools as well as universities and other forums in Sweden, Denmark, Japan and Mexico.
I have worked as a research assistant, lecturer and substitute teacher, been active as an academic advisor and programme coordinator, participated in various actions for the climate and worked on a voluntary basis within several organizations.
