Teaching

I have been teaching at the University of Gothenburg since 2006. Teaching is carried out in the Religious Studies programme with courses in Religious Studies, Teacher Education and interdisciplinary courses at the LIR Department. Also in Public Health Science, Food, Nutrition and Sport Science, the History of Ideas and Sexology. In religion, I have taught at all levels, primarily in Sociology and Psychology of Religion, but also courses on Theology and The History of Religion. I have also tutored essays at the BA and Master’s degree levels and been responsible for many courses.
