About ME
"To succeed, we must first believe that we can" Michael Korda
Liisa Uusimaki (Ph.D) is an inspirational educator with expertise in pedagogical and educational leadership. She has spent the past 15 years working in the higher education sector in both Sweden and Australia.
She is recognized for her commitment to inclusive, and high-quality Student Teaching and Learning at all levels of education by the University of Gothenburg, Sweden receiving the prestigious award of Excellent Teacher in 2018.
Learning is at the heart of what I do as an Educator and Researcher. Education is an antidote to ignorance, racism, and intolerance and is crucial to the well-being and survival of our species and planet. Regardless of our work, we need continuously to learn to understand and make sense of why things are the way they are in our world.
As a human being and as an educator, I believe our purpose is about empowering and inspiring each other to be the best we can be. This does not mean we must agree but to be open to listening to different ways of thinking and being, who knows, we may even find ourselves on the same page...
Liisa's areas of expertise include Internationalization, Educational Leadership, Inclusion, Mentoring, and Collaboration from a Relational Cultural perspective, which has allowed for international speaking engagements in Europe and Australia.
Liisa is the host and producer of the podcast Sånt är livet i Sverige! or That's Life in Sweden! https://luusimaki.podbean.com
Through the podcast series, you will hear about the personal journeys of some of the most amazing Swedish and International, leaders, educators, researchers, and authors. These brilliant and generous professionals that I have had the privilege to speak with have experience working in both the public and private sectors, (e.g. government, education, health care, business, or community). What they all share is a common passion, commitment, and love for their work that make each episode truly a unique listening experience. I welcome and invite you along on this exciting learning journey.
