By bringing societal, political and epistemic processes together, the HEDWORK group carries out research that examines the conditions for academic and professional development in a society that is more and more based on expert knowledge. Main areas for research include:
- Organisation of knowledge, learning and developments in different expert cultures
- Policy making and governance of higher education institutions and programmes
- Teaching, learning and academic development in higher education
The group was established 01.07.2018 as a continuation of the former ExCID group at the Faculty of Education, UiO. The group organizes open academic seminars with internal and external speakers, and collaborate with a number of international scholars and groups.
Academic programmes and courses
Group members are involved in teaching and supervision in the Higher Education specialisation of the international Master in Education programme and the Master i Pedagogikk - Studieretning Kunnskapsutvikling og læring i arbeidslivet (in Norwegian) programme at IPED, as well as in the PhD programme at the Faculty of Education. Members of the group also offer courses in university pedagogy through the LINK centre for teaching and learning.
