Presentation

I conduct research on validation and assessment of vocational competence in adult education. My doctoral project examines how adults' work-based experiences can be made visible, assessed and recognised, particularly in occupations where knowledge and skills are relational and situated. I am interested in the interplay between school and working life, and in how new policy documents are put into practice. The project is qualitative and builds on in-depth studies of validation processes in adult education.

My background is in Pedagogy and Language teaching. I am a certified upper secondary school teacher in Pedagogy, Spanish and English. I have extensive experience of teaching in compulsory school, upper secondary school and adult education, both in Sweden and abroad. Most recently, I worked as a vocational teacher in the Child and Recreation programme at Komvux Malmö, with special responsibility for Erasmus+. As a doctoral student, I am part of the research school FYSALIS
