Call for Papers – 9th Nordic Educational History Conference, 14-16 May 2025
Location: Stockholm University, Sweden
Date: 14-16 May 2025
Conference theme: Power and resistance
Wherever there is education, there is power and resistance. The 9th Nordic Educational History Conference invites papers that deal with these two fundamental features of social and educational processes.
Contributions can discuss issues related to either power, resistance or both, including how they are interrelated. In terms of empirical contexts, education can be broadly understood as an activity that takes place in institutions of various forms, pre-schools, schools, universities, but also in a range of other formal and informal contexts where some kind of transmission of knowledge and values is intended to take place.
Theoretically, there are a rich variety of traditions that have discussed how patterns of domination emerge, are maintained and spread to new contexts, as well as the many ways in which they can be challenged or resisted.
Contributions to the conference may include, but are not limited to, discussions of:
- Life in institutions
- Professional groups
- Categorization, normality and deviance
- The political steering of education
- Educational technology
- Social movements, interest groups
- Revolutions
- Propaganda
- The role of different types of media
- The role of the state and/or private companies
- War, peace, reconstruction
- Space, materiality, architecture
- Systems of inspection, evaluation and assessment
