Member of the EduKnow research group Íris Santos will defend her doctoral dissertation on 17th of March 2022

Member of the EduKnow research group Íris Santos will defend her doctoral dissertation “Externalisations in the Portuguese Parliament and Print Media: A complexity approach to education policymaking processes” on 17 March 2022 at noon (UTC+2), in auditorium 109 of the Virta building (Åkerlundinkatu 5, Tampere, Finland). The event is streamed on-line. You are warmly welcome!

In her doctoral dissertation Íris Santos presents an analysis of the complex dynamics emerging from the interactions between global, national, and local actors in policymaking processes. It more specifically analyses how references to international organisations (such as the OECD), their tools of assessment and guidance (such as PISA), and practices of other countries are used in discussions of education in the Portuguese parliament and in the media.

Abstract and dissertation is openly available at https://trepo.tuni.fi/handle/10024/137570
