Historical-Political Studies of Childhood, Education and Society

The research group Historical-Political Studies pursues interdisciplinary research on education and socialization in relation to historical and contemporary political and cultural phenomena. Our research lies at the intersection of the history of education, political thought, and critical social science, focusing on how education has been shaped and renegotiated across diverse societal contexts. We examine the conditions and possibilities of critical social science.

Our Research

The research group maintains an ongoing seminar series where participants receive collegial feedback on works in progress—such as article drafts, book chapters, and research proposals. The group collaborates on external funding applications and conference contributions, and regularly organizes writing retreats. We also engage collectively with thematic areas of shared interest, such as the conditions and possibilities of critique. The group contributes to the departmental seminar at the Department of Childhood, Education and Society (BUS).
