Teaching:

Courses:

During my PhD programme, I was mainly teaching on GIS, cartography, remote sensing, and geopolitics within BA courses given in Swedish. I delivered lectures on vector and raster data structures, remote sensing, geospatial data collection techniques, and geopolitics and facilitated seminars on cartography, geopolitics, landscape literacy, environmental migration, comprehensive planning, and power and planning. I also supervised GIS projects and facilitated exercises in GIS, remote sensing, GPS data collection, and quantitative analysis of population geogprahical data. I have been teaching within the following courses at the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Uppsala University, covering in total 290 lecturing hours:

• Introduction to Geographical Information Systems (GIS), 2022-
• Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in Urban Planning, 2012-2014, 2016, 2022-
• Geographical Information Systems (GIS) II, 2012-2014, 2022-
• Economic Globalization, 2018-2019, 2022
• Spatial Analysis and Building Information Modeling (BIM), 2022-
• Theoretical and Methodological Perspectives in Economic Geography, 2022-

In addition, I have assisted with course outline and schedule design of the BA course Geographical Information Systems I. I also assisted with excursion planning and administration of the PhD course Field course to South Africa 2013, 7,5 HECs.

BA thesis supervision:

I have supervised two BA students writing their thesis in swedish on environmental management within higher education institutions and place management and sense of place. I also supervised a BA student who was granted a MFS stipend to conduct a fieldwork in Bolivia, writing her thesis in English.

Professional Service:

During my field trips to Bolivia in August 2011 and January 2014, I delivered a lecture and facilitated several GIS exercises in Spanish at the Centro de Planificación y Gestión, Universidad Mayor de San Simón in Cochabamba.

I am the treasurer for Geografiska föreningen i Uppsala since 2012 and Geografilärarnas Riksförening since 2011. I was a board member of Geografiska Förbundet 2008-2015, being in the role of the board secretary 2010-2013, and the treasurer for the PhD Association at the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Uppsala University, 2012-2014. I was also an elected PhD representative of the Departmental Board at the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Uppsala University, 2014-2017.
