Professor vid Institutionen för tillämpad utbildningsvetenskap Enhet: Plan 4
Plats
Naturvetarhuset plan 4, huskropp NB, Johan Bures väg 16 Umeå universitet, 90187 Umeå

Jag är professor i pedagogiskt arbete vid Umeå universitet sedan 2013. Jag tog min doktorsexamen i utbildningsvetenskap vid Oxford University år 1999, och hade innan dess genomgått en grundskollärarutbildning vid Dimokritio University i Grekland. Jag arbetade vid Keele University (Storbritannien) och Makedonia University (Grekland) innan jag kom till Sverige. Du kan läsa mer om min forskning här.

Min forskning handlar framför allt om utbildningspolicy på nationell och internationell nivå, och i jämförande studier:

  • Utbildningspolitik och styrning i Europeiska unionen, dess förhållande till nationell policy och den öppna samordningsmetoden
  • Utbildningspolicy, inkludering och jämställdhet, i nationella och transnationella sammanhang
  • Högre utbildningspolitik och internationalisering
  • Marknadisering och privatisering av utbildningen - sammanhang, processer och konsekvenser
