Lena Augusta Ulfseth
About
I am a Social scientist with:
-PhD in Health Sciences
-Cand. Polit. in Education/ Educational Psychology
-Cand.Mag. in Social Studies / Sociology and History
My academic background and interest are in social psychology, history and philosophy. The PhD project was in the field of mental health.
My academic and scientific focus is on child welfare and perspectives related to children, parents and everyday life, and I am affiliated with the research group Child Welfare Research and Innovation.
I have an practical experience from both health, education and children’s upbringing, including as a teacher at school, pedagogical-psychological counsellor, head of PPT and as unit manager for Child and Family Services.
I have held academic positions at various programs and departments at both The college of South-Trøndelag (HiST) and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
