Pedagogical award to Gunnel Ekroth
Pedagogical award to Gunnel Ekroth
Uppsala University annually awards five pedagogical prizes for outstanding contributions within education at basic level as well as advanced level. This year, our professor in Classical archaeology and ancient history, Gunnel Ekroth is a winner. She is awarded in the area of Theology, Humanities and Educational Sciences.
Gunnel comments on the award:
I am deeply honoured and very happy to have received a pedagogical award. Research activities can be assessed, but teaching is always a bit of trial and error. It feels amazing to get an acknowledgement that it seems to work.
