I work as a senior university lecturer in cultural geography, and my special area of responsibility is the development of subject teacher training, which is why I collaborate a lot with other faculties as well. Through the Erasmus projects, I have been doing international teaching development work for more than 20 years.
As the vice dean responsible for education at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Business Studies, I lead the faculty’s education development committee, and I am responsible for many e.g. on matters related to student selection, curriculum work, development of the quality of teaching and monitoring the progress of studies.
My research keywords are: geography, landscape geography, social environmental research, didactic geography and development of higher education. In recent years, I have participated especially in the interdisciplinary research of the forest owners’ forest discourses.
