The project explores dynamic relationship between educational knowledge and students both in historical perspective and in the light of the societal, technological and ethical paradigms of the new millennium. By bringing together sociology of education, literary and cultural studies, and cognitive sciences, this interdisciplinary research examines the meaning, the status, and the new forms of knowledge in relation to the educational purposes of higher education.
Johanna Annala, Senior Lecturer and HET group co-leader, is the PI of the project that gathers a research team working at the Faculty of Education and Culture at Tampere University: Associate Professor Juliene Madureira Ferreira, Senior Researcher Alexandra Urakova, Doctoral Researchers Harry Quedenfeld and Vesna Holubek.
The project started in January 2025 and will run until 2029; it is funded by the Kone Foundation.
