Education

Within the area of education various phenomena related to upbringing, teaching, education and similar forms of processes, in both ordinary and institutional contexts, are being explored. The conditions for human learning, i.e. the way we develop knowledge, competencies, conceptions and attitudes within different human sectors, are being studied.
We address questions that concern learning and communication, upbringing, socialisation and identity formation. Questions related to educational organisations, leadership and governance, cultural reproduction and the interrelation between education-society-democracy are also approached.
