Information about the CuEEd-LL graduate school
The graduate school’s overall aim is to strengthen Swedish teacher education by developing culturally empowering teaching that focuses on language and literature. Teachers at all stages and in all subjects need good skills in language and literature to develop communicative practices that include heterogeneous groups – in other words, all school pupils.
The doctoral student projects at CuEEd-LL explore how both language and literature can support cultural understanding, literacy and values in today’s digitalised Swedish schools. Different stages of school and subject areas can be the focus of doctoral student projects, which must refer to how language and literature are used in meaning-making, communication and identity positioning. The graduate school is to support comparable, high-quality education and participation in a globalised and digitalised world.
We encourage those with an interest in language and literature from various subject areas that are relevant to teacher education to apply. Your project should contribute with a literary orientation that takes language and media aspects into account.
The following are examples of areas that could be explored in connection with CuEEd-LL’s themes:
