Joint Seminar Series:
Education in Contexts – Interdisciplinary Contributions for Academics & Young Researchers
In our Joint Seminar Series for faculty members as well as PhD students from both the University of Glasgow and Leuphana University Lüneburg, staff is given the opportunity to present and discuss relevant fields and topics in education research. The offered perspectives are grounded in distinct disciplinary approaches to education research (e.g. social pedagogy, educational sciences, psychology, sociology, linguistics), but similarly provide PhD students with ample opportunities to explore the interdisciplinary substance of education research and to assess the theoretical value and methodological versatility for building their own international research profile. Next to this, it is also intended as a platform for our senior staff to connect and exchange ideas.
“As a project owner of the Joint Seminar Series, my aim is to deepen the international relations especially for the PhD students at Leuphana and University of Glasgow and to develop comparative perspectives on educational contexts.”
“As a project owner of the Joint Seminar Series, I aim to consolidate and develop the research and scholarship connections between the School of Education, Glasgow and Leuphana.“
