Theme: Learning Cultures – Cultures of Learning

International political agendas of education and learning have opened for a broad acknowledgement of learning as taking place throughout life and across many informal as well as formally institutionalized settings. The summer school follows that path of interest. The intention is to present a broad research agenda that combines perspectives of identity and subjectivity with analyses of institutional and societal changes. The theme opens for discussions on how different contexts, institutions and communities are produced as arenas for learning. And it opens for discussions on how cultures are learned, embodied, encoded by persons entering and participating in the context in question. This involves a dynamic understanding of the relationship between learning and culture as a process of constant construction and reconstruction.


Summer School Format

The Summer School is a stimulating scholarly setting in which highly qualified and challenging discussions take place. We advocate a multi-cultural, multi-national, multi-paradigmatic approach to (qualitative) research in different settings like lectures, hands on workshops and workshops where PhD students present research papers.
