Baker came to Kristiansand and Agder university college (ADH) in the early 1980’s, and had an important part in founding what would later become the one-year programme in development studies at ADH.
Jonathan Baker became a professor in development studies in 2002 and had an important role in developing the study programmes in development both on bachelor’s and master’s level. He wanted students to have practical experiences with development studies, and he took students on field trips until he retired, and he was always dressed for adventure and very passionate about his field.
