About

 In 2009-2010 I conducted research on students experience of the Peoples High School in Norway. 2011-2012 in collaboration with Mitt University in Sweden (2011-2012) we looked closer upon the changes in the Nordic model of Education. During later years I have in collaboration with colleauges focused upon the local community and its contri ution to the reconstruction of democracy.  In this work the research group Neo-rural youth, education and lifteworld  plays a central role.
