Background and activities

I have an MSc in Psychology from the University of Reading, UK (2003) and a PhD in Psychology from NTNU (2009). My research interests revolve around the role played by emotions and coping at work, and I have been involved in research projects on organizational change, artistic interventions at work, sickness presence/absence, and work adjustment for employees with mental health issues. Recently I have been particularly interested in how organizations driven by environmentally values and practices, including activist organizations and networks, can be enabled and supported.

I am leading the "Greening Organizations" research group:

I am also involved in the four-year KLIMAFORSK project MEATigation: Towards Sustainable meat-use in Norwegian food practices for climate mitigation.
