Research in Education and Special Education
About the research environment
The research profile of the Department of School Development and Leadership is characterised by interdisciplinarity, societal engagement, active theory development, and a strong grounding in educational practice. Research at SOL integrates critical, relational, and inclusive perspectives, with particular emphasis on school development, leadership, special education, and vocational education and training. The research is closely linked to the department’s educational programmes and places knowledge, society, and the human being at its centre. A clear commitment to equity, democracy, and social justice permeates the department’s work.
The research organisation is led by the Director of Research and is based on collegial processes. The Departmental Research Council and the Higher Seminar serve as key arenas for critical thinking, open dialogue, and academic citizenship. Researchers at the department collaborate in evolving constellations at local, national, and global levels. SOL’s research environment is characterised by curiosity, openness, and engagement.
