On April 3, 2020, I will take part of a lunch seminar arranged by the International Office and Centre for Educational Development at Umeå University. During this seminar I will briefly talk about my experiences of being an STINT Teaching Sabbatical Fellow at NTU in Singapore and hopefully inspire a new generation to take this […]
In just a few hours we’re leaving for a 3 week stay at NTU in Singapore. I’m exited to meet up with old collegues at SCSE and engage in interesting discussions and research during this time. I will also meet with two of my students on the MSc program in Interaction Technology and Design at […]
During the last part of my stay at NTU under the STINT Teaching Sabbatical in 2018, we discussed a future invitation as a visiting scholar at NTU and the School of Computer Sience and Engeneering during 2019 or beginning of 2020. Now everything is set and I will go back as Visiting Scholar to NTU for a […]
End of next week I will present project on internationalization called Sustainable international experience. Lessons learned from an interdisciplinary teaching project at Umeå University’s Pedagogy Conference 2019. This project is written in cooperation with Helen Cripps at ECU and Stefan Berglund at TFE, Umeå University. Furthermore, I will have a seminar on my experiences of going abroad […]
As part of being a STINT Fellow for the last five months, I have written a report on my visit and stay at Nanyang Technological University under the STINT Teaching Sabbatical Program during 2018. This report is largely based on information that has been published in this blog during last semester. But as a formality […]

This is the time when our baby girl, Lovisa, has, officially, been living longer in Singapore than in Sweden. It is a little strange when you think about it, but really cool. So, from now on, we do officially denote her as the Singaporean until she becomes “Swedish” again. Even though she won’t have any […]
My home faculty at Umeå University, Faculty of Science and Technology, just published an article about my stay, with my family, in Singapore and my teaching at NTU. In this article I give my view on teaching large groups at a top University in another part of the world. The article is written in Swedish […]
There were just some minor problems when moving in to the apartment at NTU, a broken tap in the kitchen that sprayed water all over the wall when used and some termites living in the wooden frame of the bed in the spare bedroom that we found after a couple of weeks. Searching around the […]
