Since the 1980s she has been involved in sustainability education and since the millennium shift in sustainability education research.

Likewise, she has written numerous and diverse articles, made evaluations, participated in policy work and performed research both alone and in several national and international project groups.
She has a long experience of international cooperation and networking as a member of many strategic working groups, and she has been engaged in politics on many levels.

Her doctoral thesis Nature and sustainability: An educational study with Rousseau and Foucault (2011) deals with the ethics of sustainability from a philosophical/historical view. It was awarded with the highest grade (laudatur/A). The topics of her forthcoming articles (2020-2021) are for example Nature as an esthetic experience in early years, Learning in the Anthropocene, Worldview transformation in an era of climate crises, and Sustainable leadership: Non-affirmative education as a norm critical approach?
