The First Meeting

On the 16-th of January my supervisors met each other for the first time: Liv Merete Nielsen (to the right on the picture) and Liv Gjems.

Each of them has unique competence: Liv Merete within education in visual arts, and Liv within kindergarten pedagogy (with special focus on children’s learning through conversations with kindergarten personnel). I am very glad to have possibility to be their student, and I am looking forward to out future meetings, conversations, discussions, disagreements… and what ever benefits to progress in my project!

Liv Merete Nielsen is a professor in art and design at the Oslo University College. She is a coordinator for DesignDialog – a research group with main interest in visual arts/design and education.
Liv Gjems is an associate professor in pedagogy, at the Vestfold University College, and coordinator of the project “Children’s Language Learning, and Learning through Language” that Sculpturing Words is a part of.
