Datum och tid: 15 april kl. 15.00–16.00

Talare: Jesko Schulte, universitetslektor på Blekinge Tekniska Högskola

Om seminariet på engelska:

Why do topics like meat eating, flight quotas, or nuclear power so easily spark heated debate in the classroom – and what can teachers do to turn that heat into learning? In this session, Jesko Schulte will talk about controversial issues in sustainability education. What typically lights the fuse, why they are important, and how teachers can incorporate them into their teaching. Expect both a dive into underlying theory, concrete examples, and space to reflect on your own stance on controversy, knowledge, and the purpose of education. 

Seminarium 3

Titel: Creative-Critical Belt and Road* Education Studies across disciplines

Datum och tid: 6 maj kl. 15.00–16.00

Talare: Lauren Ila Misiaszek, invited researcher at the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Education and Development in Lisbon, Portugal

Om seminariet på engelska:

In this seminar, we meet Lauren Ila Misiaszek, who combines research on higher education with creative and critical forms of academic writing. Drawing on her experiences as a foreign professor within the Chinese Normal University system, she discusses how certain perspectives, languages and modes of expression are often marginalised within academia, despite carrying important forms of knowledge.
The seminar is based on the article “April 31 a fugia hacia ‘the presence of absence’ in Chinese higher education” (2025), which participants are asked to read in advance. During the seminar, participants will discuss how the text offers new perspectives on their own research and writing. The session concludes with an open discussion, where participants are invited to ask questions, particularly related to publishing interdisciplinary, creative or otherwise non‑traditional academic work.

The seminar is aimed at researchers and teachers with an interest in higher education, academic writing and alternative forms of knowledge production.

*The Belt and Road Initiative draws on the idea of the Silk Road—a historical network of trade routes that for more than a millennium connected China with Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe—recasting it as a contemporary geopolitical and infrastructural project.
