CRITPEN-members and research interest
Below you will find short presentations of the research interest and contact information of CRITPEN-members (including links to one or two publications of importance). If you are interested, please send a similar presentation of your research interest and contact information to mattias.nylund@ped.gu.se The idea is to create a list that will help researchers with a critical knowledge interest to easily find other researchers with a similar knowledge interest.
Mattias Nylund, Associate Professor, Department of Education and Special Education, Gothenburg University, mattias.nylund@ped.gu.se
Research interest: My main research interest is in curriculum theory and sociology of education, with particular focus on how education (policy and practice) reflects and affects power relations such as class and gender. I have focused much on Vocational education in my studies. I have a particular interest in the theoretical tradition that has its origin in the work of the educational sociologist Basil Bernstein.

Research interest: In my research, I investigate norms, values, and identities in education, as well as how they can be changed to reach a more sustainable and just world. I am in particularly interested in understanding how education can be a domain that promotes new ways of knowing and being. I am interested in research that conceptualises education as more than reproduction through curriculum. Diversity, creativity, openness, and novelty are words that I find important.
