Caring stories in Swedish compulsory school

PhD project The purpose of the study is to describe, analyse and discuss compulsory school pupils' experiences and stories of care based on their every school day life. This can also form the basis of a moral-pedagogical discussion in which the importance of masculine and feminine coded ethical perspectives in school is illuminated.

The dissertation will be based on data collected through observations as well as qualitative interviews with pupils in sixth grade.
