Kristian Niemi
Research
Religion is a fascinating subject, partly because it is approached so differently in various places. This is one of the themes I have researched; international religious education, and the peculiarities that emerge regarding the Swedish context when reflected through other perspectives. I have a particular focus on religion in India and the Indian school system.
Teaching
I lecture in the history of religions, not least on Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as on religious education.
Collaboration
I participate in the CSD and ROSE at Karlstad University.
I am a member of the National Forum for Research in Religious Education/Pedagogy (NFR), the Swedish Society for the History of Religions (SSRF), and I am active in the International Seminar for Religion and Values (ISREV) and the Nordic Conference on Religion and Education (NCRE).
Bio
For my undergraduate education, I am trained and certified as an upper secondary school teacher, qualified in the subjects of religion and philosophy.
Finnish citizen, residing in Sweden since 2005. Wife and two children.
