Research at Culture, Languages and Media
The Department of Culture, Languages and Media provides an active, multidisciplinary research environment with an emphasis on languages, aesthetic forms of expression, languagedeveloping teaching, academic literacy, assessment and media.
Research fields
Our research is conducted in two main fields: the first deals with teachers' and prospective teachers' own learning, with elements of subject-specific didactics and subject-specific conceptual issues; while the second deals with meaning-making among children, young people and adults and learning based on an expanded text concept. The research touches on issues of language and literature pedagogy, text didactics, reception theory and cultural and media pedagogy.
Research subjects
Swedish with a didactic focus
Research in the field Swedish and Didactics follows two main tracks – language and literature. The research touches on linguistics, culture and media, sociology and pedagogy. We also offer third-cycle studies in Swedish and Didactics.
English
English covers the language, literature/culture and language teaching. The language element covers linguistics, semantics and studies of written language. Research into literature and culture deals partly with children’s literature linked to culture.
Aesthetic Knowledge
Research in the field of Aesthetic Knowledge (art, drama and music) is currently in a phase of orientation dominated by higher education pedagogy and teacher-researcher studies.
Swedish as a second language
The field of Swedish as a second language includes a research project dealing with the language perspective on science teaching in classrooms.
Third-cycle education
Our third-cycle study programme is Swedish and Didactics.
