Teacher, Checkpoint Charlie

Sondre Aanstad

Hi! I’m a teacher on the Checkpoint Charlie track (often called CC). I might be your teacher this fall! On this course, you’ll explore both Europe’s history and learn more about yourself.

Sondre holds a master’s degree in history from the University of Bergen. He loves delving into surprising and unusual events from the past—to better understand both history and our own time.Sondre har en mastergrad i historie fra Universitetet i Bergen.

He particularly enjoys exploring historical cases with his students and showing how small events can have major consequences. For example, how trials against cats can shed light on the French Revolution, or how a mistaken statement on TV contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In addition, Sondre teaches the elective course in salsa. He also plays the trombone and has previously been a member of the Royal Norwegian Guard Band.
