Academic interests
I have a background in Social Work and am an educated and ordained Deacon. Additionally, I took a Master of Philosophy in “Religion in Contemporary Society” at MF in Oslo. My master thesis was associated to a research project (FAIR) at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), exploring the role of ethics in peace negotiations. The thesis was supervised by Gina Lende (MF) and Kristoffer Lidén (PRIO).
My PhD -project wishes to investigate the contribution of interreligious dialogue to current discussions in eco-theology.
