Project description

The purpose of the research is to create an understanding of the rise of the teacher corps as a professional community which, through the formation of Sveriges allmänna folkskollärarförening (SAF) in 1880 and its development into what is today Lärarförbundet, has become an important actor in the design of the modern school system.
