Professor, Vice President and head of Steno Health Promotion Center
Research Area
My research has focused on the intercultural development of key concepts in health and environmental education (e.g. empowerment, action competence, health and environmental literacy and student participation). How do you invent participatory and action-oriented learning methodologies and how do you secure a fruitful interplay between natural and social science in a holistic health education? These questions have been central to my work which also comprises sustainability at workplace and the challenges of social inequality in health education. I have written 27 books over the years and some 200 articles and have produced 50 national and 45 international conference papers during the recent 3 years.
