Eva Liedholm Johnson

Eva Liedholm Johnson KTH's Pedagogical Prize winner 2023

Eva Liedholm Johnson received KTH's Pedagogical Prize 2023 for her persistent work on integrating sustainability and gender equality in the Civil Engineering and Urban Management programme.
“For me, pedagogy is about finding ways to teach that give students an opportunity to continue learning and developing throughout their lives.”

The prize winner says that she was surprised and very happy about the award and explains how grateful it is to work with sustainability and gender equality at KTH. That there is a great commitment among teachers and students.

“I really appreciate all the collaborations with colleagues. It is fantastic to see the drive to develop KTH's programmes and give our students tools and approaches to tackle current and future unknown challenges. Our students must be able to help drive and participate in the transition to a more sustainable society.”

Background

Eva Liedholm Johnson  is a teacher, researcher, and newly appointed Director of First and Second Cycle Education at the ABE School, where she is responsible for courses on land rights and changes in property division. She was previously manager for the Civil Engineering and Urban Management programme which already in 2020 reached level 3 in the CDIO standard for sustainable development.

A graduate of KTH Royal Institute of Technology, she returned in 1996 after many years working elsewhere. The Soviet Union had fallen and KTH was commissioned by SIDA to set up a Land Management programme focusing on the privatisation of land rights.

“I taught an unusual group of students, and the programme was later expanded to several countries in the Balkans and East Africa. In Kazakhstan, for example, I have also helped to build higher education programmes with a focus on sustainability.”

Nomination

“Eva Liedholm Johnson has, with a positive, responsive and inclusive approach, worked persistently, long-term and strategically to integrate sustainability and gender equality in the Civil Engineering and Urban Management Programme.   (In Swedish). She has also worked with a long-term and comprehensive work on the programme as a whole. Her co-creative work has been crucial for the Civil Engineering and Urban Management Programme to reach level 3 in the CDIO standard for sustainable development already in 2020 – i.e. KTH's sustainability goal for education to be achieved by 2025.

Storträff meet up & Priority groups

In order to strengthen KTH-wide cooperation, exchange of experience and continuous quality improvement of our programmes, the Storträff is arranged every semester. In addition, there are several thematic groups, so-called Priority groups. These arenas are open to everyone at KTH, teachers, students and staff alike.

The storträff meet up takes place once per term. It captures experiences and views on over a dozen themes. Those who are table leaders are responsible for summarizing and formulating how KTH could jointly move forward. The Priority groups gather around individual specific themes and meet during the year to discuss further ideas.
All KTH staff and students are also welcome.
