I am a Principal Researcher and the leader of the interdisciplinary research group Sustainable Futures through Human Interaction and Transformative Learning across Societal Transitions (SHIFT). I work at the intersection of professional learning, teacher education, and critical digitalization studies. My research examines how digitalization reshapes teacher education, educational governance, and the ethical foundations of pedagogical practice. Methodologically, I draw on qualitative, critical, and speculative approaches to explore both the everyday manifestations of technology in education and alternative digital futures.
