I teach classical sociology (SOS1003), SOS2100 - Social Inequaly, Class and Stratification; and I co-teach class and stratification on an advanced level (SOS4013) with Marianne Nordli Hansen. In SOS1000 - Introduction to sociology I lecture on class and inequality and education and inequality. I also give individual lectures on Pierre Bourdieu and related topics.
I can supervise students working on social inequality, class theory and class analysis, cultural and political aspects of social inequality.
