Hello,
I am Karin Steen, and I work at AHU (Division for Higher Education) at Lund University as a pedagogical developer. I teach university teachers in Higher Educational development and develop pedagogical resources on for example how one can teach sustainability.
I also work at LUCSUS (Lund University Centre for Sustainability Science) where I conduct most of my research. My PhD in Sustainability Science concerns gender and social change in subsistence farming in sub-Saharan Africa. At the moment, I am finishing up a project on ’Love in subsistence farming in sub-Saharan Africa’. I have mostly been teaching in international interdisciplinary programmes at Lund University social science faculty, such as BIDS, LUMID, LUMES, and master’s in development. I have also been director of studies.
Right now, I am especially interested in our new initiative Teaching for Sustainability, in anti-oppressive and feminist pedagogies, and in developing interdisciplinary sustainability education for postgraduates and PhD students in Southern Africa.
In my free time, I am interested in gardening, and I spend a lot of time contemplating in my hammock under the apple trees. I spend my summers at the sea on the Swedish west coast archipelago of Bohuslän.
