History of Education and Education Policy Analysis
The Chair of History of Education and Education Policy Analysis comprehensively
examines current issues in the field of education at all levels, viewed through
historical and political developments as well as through comparative and international
analyses. The work is interdisciplinary, drawing on a variety of theoretical and
methodological approaches, and employing diverse forms of empirical research and
data within local, national, and international contexts.
The Chair places particular emphasis on global agendas and technologies,
international organisations, governance mechanisms, and actors operating within a
multi-stakeholder landscape in the education sector. It explores why and how these
actors function and evolve both within and across the Global North and South.
A critically reflective space regarding the Chair’s research topics is typically created
through historical and comparative analyses. These serve as platforms for posing
new questions, offering new answers, and fostering awareness of contingency,
thereby establishing new possibilities and scopes for action in the field of education
policy.
Finally, the Chair is committed to communicating its knowledge to policymakers,
decision-makers at all levels, and practitioners in education. This is achieved through
publications, blog posts, conferences, lectures, podcasts, and other forms of media
engagement.
