Ingela has a PhD in food and nutrition and studies the school subject Home economics. At the department, she teaches scientific methods and food sociology.
I have worked as a dietitian and teacher in Home economics, English, and French, but gained my PhD in food and nutrition in 2016. My dissertation focused on students' and teachers' Discourses around different kinds of food in the Home economics classroom, while my post doc project focused on time use, time poverty/arrhythmia, and cultural sustainability in Home economics education.
Currently, I am collaborating with Home economics teachers to develop pedagogic tools for teaching cooking methods. In Home economics, students often work in pairs or groups and do not practice cooking methods individually, because the aim of the lesson is to create a whole meal. Within my current project, teachers will try pure "method lessons" instead, and I will observe and interview teachers and students to see what consequences such a change can have.
I teach several courses at the Department of Food, Nutrition, and Culinary Science, mainly within food sociology and scientific methods. I very much enjoy supervising essays and doctoral projects.
