Head of Unit at Commissioned Education Office

I am the Head of Unit at the Commissioned Education Office at ¸£Àû¼§, where we offer education for working professionals. My task is to strategically lead and allocate the work within the unit.

I aim to ensure that LiU collaborates with external partners and offers commissioned education that contributes to lifelong learning in our society. I am stimulated by, want to drive, but also support various types of change and improvement work in businesses and organizations. Do you or your employees have a need for professional education? Contact me, and I will guide you further in matters related to commissioned education and lifelong learning at LiU.

Research

I hold a PhD in education with a focus on work and working life. Issues related to learning, professional development, and change and improvement work in organizations particularly interest me. Based on these issues, I have participated in various types of research and development projects within municipalities, regions, and companies.

Education

I have extensive experience teaching undergraduate students and have been the director of studies for independent courses in education. I also have experience working with higher education pedagogy and leading courses for university teachers. In recent years, I have focused entirely on commissioned education, meaning staff training that is tailored and designed in a way that is closely aligned with the needs of the relevant organization.

Collaboration

I collaborate with various regional organizations on matters related to skills supply and commissioned education. Together with other higher education institutions, I actively work on issues related to the role and function of academia in lifelong learning.
