I have been involved in research on school leadership in Iceland for 25  years. I´m particularily interested in values and gender, how these constructs relate to leadership and their impact on the actions of leaders.

I´m a board member in two active research centers, Center for Research in Educational Leadership and Program Evaluation,  http://stofnanir.hi.is/stjornun-nyskopun-mat and Center for Research on Equality, Gender and Education, http://stofnanir.hi.is/rannkyn/

I chaired the Icelandic Educational Research Association (IERA) in 2008-2012. The Association publishes the Journal of Educational Research once a year in collaboration with the University of Iceland Press: http://fum.is/?page_id=1010
