Julie Kleiva

Julie Kleiva serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Norwegian within the School of Teacher Education at NLA University College, Oslo, with office contact at Staffeldtsgate (+4721969579). Her academic profile spans an exceptionally broad interdisciplinary spectrum exceeding 60 distinct research domains.

Her core expertise centers on Norwegian language and literature education for teacher training, deeply integrated with religious studies through Biblical Studies, Old and New Testament scholarship, and Systematic Theology reflecting the university's Christian foundation. Additional pillars include comprehensive music education (encompassing didactics, history, production, and technology), intercultural communication frameworks, and special education methodologies. Her work uniquely bridges humanities, social sciences, and creative arts through fields like ethnomusicology, drama pedagogy, and arts-based research.

Methodologically grounded in qualitative research, her profile emphasizes ethical dimensions through Servant Leadership, Corporate Social Responsibility, and media ethics. The extensive scope—from Hans Nielsen Hauge historical studies to digital competence and social media literacy—demonstrates a commitment to contemporary educational challenges while maintaining theological depth. This interdisciplinary approach manifests in curriculum development for primary/lower secondary education, worldview studies, and problem-based learning frameworks.

Her leadership contributions extend to educational philosophy, institutional strategy, and practical theology applications within Norwegian educational contexts. The integration of fields like investigative journalism, economic journalism, and broadcast media highlights innovative approaches to modern teacher preparation.
