Curriculum Vitae of Lena Lundin

Born 1940-07-18

 

 

Others usually describe me as a serious, optimistic, flexible and creative “hard worker”…. but today, after my retirement, I live much more according to the principles of Carpe Diem which means that I am involved in research, but also give attention to projects connected to my carrier as occupational therapist (art and crafts).

Major research interests follow the line of applied cross scientific investigations with focus on humans, e.g. Physical and psychosocial work environment, Indoor air climate and health, Sick Building Syndrome (including methodology, statistics and validity questions). My background from a natural scientific secondary high school education, academic education in psychology and careers as occupational therapist and Ph.D. formed a scientific approach that is environmental psychological (everything interrelate in a holistic, dynamic way). So far... I am convinced that the physical and social environments interact with our inherited characteristics for behavior and health, and that our reactions are dependent on earlier events and the present situation.

 

Education and work 1960-1983. The education for work as an occupational therapist mainly contained art and handicraft, leadership and pedagogic led to employments enclosing (re)habilitation of retarded adults in nursing homes and schools and teacher of handicraft. During this time period I was also involved in non-profit organizations:  Chairman of the local section of the organization Home and School; Youth leader and board member of Boo IF Athletics. The latter engagements resulted in two honors (‘Leader of the year’; ‘Nacka culture grant’), part time employment as high school host and academic studies in psychology.

Education and work 1984-2005. Studies in psychology and statistics at Stockholm University and Dartmouth College resulted in B.Sc (1987) and Ph.D. (1993) with dissertation (1991) at Stockholm University, Department of Psychology, Division of Perception and Psycho-physics. Title of the thesis was “On building Related Causes of the Sick Building Syndrome”.

After the dissertation I did research on a free lance basis during a few years, followed by employment at Blekinge International School of Public Health (BIH), where I lectured, supervised and carried out tasks connected to quality assurance and development of the college (Member of the committee for education at BIH, and 3 working groups: ‘Development of master education’, ‘Guarantee of the education level’ and ‘Guarantee of the examination level’). The employment also enclosed research in cooperation with the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning and Karlskrona community (which resulted in the award ‘Årets allergiinsats’ from The Swedish Foundation for Health Care Sciences). 1995-2005 I worked as Senior lecturer in cognitive and environmental psychology at Kristianstad University. In addition to research, examination, supervision and lecturing, the employment included tasks type development of new courses and programs (e.g. environmental psychology and Master of psychology). I was also board member of the Department of Behavioral Sciences and involved in some working groups connected to the university and the community: Member of the counsels for two public health projects in Kristanstad and member of the Committee for ecological guidance at Kristianstad University, the Counsel for quality assurance and the Counsel for evaluation of courses at Kristianstad University.

Since my academic career resulted in several publications presented at national and international conferences I became referee for Indoor Air - International Journal of Indoor Environment and Health and reviewer of grant applications for the Swedish Council for Building Research. During this time period I was also member of the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (and two working groups within ISIAQ: Guidelines for investigations in buildings; Standardization of questionnaires for the sick building syndrome), the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the Swedish Society of Medicine, Division of work- and environmental medicine.

In summary, my wide-ranging education and careers gave everlasting commitment to at least three topics (i.e. milieu, handicraft and research), good possibilities to deal with different situations, a considerable net of contacts, several scientific publications, and many possibilities to present my investigations at national and international conferences.
