I am an author (of non-fiction books). Have worked also as journalist, managing director of culture and festivals. My wife/Leons mother is vice minister in the norwegian government (dept of transportation). What we like the most about A+ and the ship is the philosophy of growth mindset. How is this involved and engaged by both the school and the life onboard. How is it communicated? We have noted some differences between the american and the norwegian way of thinking. And would like to contribute to a better communication of this :-) Communication and managing a big organization where a lot is based on idealism/ideas/cultural differences is something we have a lot of experience with :-)

I' a social anthropologist with long term fieldworks from a small island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Since 2005 I have worked at the University library in Oslo, and now I am heading a research support section. At the time my main focus is on digital research methods, digitization, open access, scientific heritage and AI.

Travelling was a big part of my youth and I have particularly been fascinated by island life. These days Greece is my favorite place in the world. And I guess I am more than average interested in picking mushroms.
