Universitetslektor
Institutionen för pedagogik och specialpedagogikOm Shruti Taneja Johansson
Shruti Taneja Johansson är docent i pedagogik vid Institutionen för pedagogik och specialpedagogik. Hon har en doktorsexamen i pedagogik samt examina i psykologi och barn- och barndomsstudier. Innan hon började vid universitetet arbetade hon med barn och unga med utvecklingsrelaterade funktionsnedsättningar i England, Sverige och Indien, inom både anpassad grundskola, grundskola och olika omsorgsverksamheter.
Shruti är vetenskaplig ledare och ordförande för programrådet för specialpedagog- och speciallärarprogrammen samt ledamot i programrådet för masterprogrammet i pedagogik.
Forskningsintressen: Shrutis forskning är inriktad på funktionsnedsättning, utbildning och inkludering i både svensk och internationell kontext. Hon studerar de processer och villkor som påverkar inkludering och exkludering i olika utbildningsmiljöer, samt hur funktionsnedsättning samspelar med kön, etnicitet och socioekonomisk bakgrund i formandet av utbildningsvägar. En central del av hennes arbete rör inkluderande utbildningspraktiker i vardagen.
Under senare år har hon undersökt hur undervisning, omsorg och delaktighet gestaltas för elever med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning, samt hur olika professioner navigerar mellan utbildningspolitiska ambitioner och de krav som uppstår i den pedagogiska vardagen. Hon intresserar sig även för kulturella dimensioner av autism och ADHD och deras betydelse för elevers lärande, delaktighet och möjligheter till inkludering.
Därtill bedriver hon forskning om tillgänglighet och delaktighet i högre utbildning, med fokus på hur studenter med funktionsnedsättning navigerar akademiska miljöer och de normer, organisatoriska strukturer och pedagogiska praktiker som formar deras möjligheter till deltagande och studieframgång.
Pågående forskningsprojekt:
- Att forma pedagogisk vardag tillsammans: En videobaserad studie av undervisning, omsorg och delaktighet i anpassad grundskola inriktning ämnesområden
- Vägen mot samverkan för bildning i anpassad grundskola: I spänningsfältet mellan undervisning, omsorg, fysio- och arbetsterapi
- Studenter med funktionsnedsättning i högre utbildning: Samskapande av vägar mot inkluderande studievardag
Undervisning: Shruti undervisar främst inom specialpedagogik, både på specialpedagog- och speciallärarprogrammen och på fristående kurser. Hon har även expertis inom kvalitativa forskningsmetoder och handleder studenter från grundnivå till forskarnivå.

- Lärande och kunskapsutveckling hos barn och elever med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (Speciallärarprogrammet, Specialisering mot intellektuell funktionsnedsättning)
- Att möta människor med NPF: strategier, dilemman och samverkan
- Vidareutveckling och analys av kvalitet i undervisningen för speciallärare (professionsprogrammet)
