Since 2013, she has worked on several projects in collaboration with researchers at the Department of Geological Sciences at Stockholm University. This collaboration began with her participation in a Research Council which led to her being awarded a Licentiate Degree. Since then, she has co-led projects, which have allowed a large number of students to participate in scientific activities, including making observations, collecting data and doing fieldwork.

One of these ongoing collaborations brings climate change science into her classroom and gives her students a firm understanding of past, present and future climate. Participating in these activities helps students realise that they can contribute to making Earth a wonderful planet to live on. Recently, a group of her students participated in a workshop co-organized by Stockholm University, Researchers’ Desk and Lava at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern. The students created textile messages to politicians and decision makers about climate change.

Recently, she has involved her students in the research project Utopian stories, a collaboration between the Department of Literary Studies and Centre of Digital Humanities at the University of Gothenburg, the Bolin Centre for Climate Research at Stockholm University and the Nobel Prize Museum.
