OsloMet has a call for four thematically open PhD positions:
Fire stipendiatstillinger ved institutt for grunnskole- og faglærerutdanning – OsloMet
The research group Challenging Picturebooks in Education/Utfordrende bildebøker: Nytenkning om språk- og litteraturopplæring – OsloMet would like to attract suitable candidates with a background in English language teaching for our project on Inclusive Learning with Challenging Picturebooks and Graphic Novels.
The research group Challenging Picturebooks in Education is an international, interdisciplinary research group which explores the use of picturebooks and graphic novels in the classroom. Our research indicates that engagement with challenging picturebooks is conducive to interdisciplinary and inclusive learning, development of critical thinking and intercultural learning. We are seeking PhD candidates who would like to contribute to the development of knowledge within the following areas:
1. Inclusive Challenging Picturebooks/Graphic Novels (analyses and/or comparative studies, diversity in themes and subjects, including intercultural learning).
2. Readers and Reading (accessibility, process, and mediation)
3. Inclusion as accessibility to all readers (across difference and special needs), art and embodiment.
The project should be innovative and relevant to the focus of the research group on challenging picturebooks as reading and teaching materials for students from primary to lower secondary education. Potential candidates must have a good command of a Scandinavian language and English.
Candidates can contact acting leader of Challenging Picturebooks in Education
