Biography

Eva Hartmann is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Education in the University of Cambridge. She specializes in the intersections of educational research, sociology, and international studies, drawing on her educational background in Political Science and International Relations. Dr. Hartmann's research adopts a sociological lens to analyze education policy, emphasizing the broader societal contexts and power dynamics at play. She engages critically with key theories from the Frankfurt School and integrates concepts from critical state theory, political economic sociology, and decolonial studies. Her empirical research investigates the internationalization of higher education and the implications of vocational education systems. Currently, she leads the Cambridge Critical Higher Education Research group and is actively involved in investigations focusing on the geopolitics of higher education, educational diplomacy, and the role of international standards and private actors in shaping educational frameworks. Hartmann’s scholarship has included examining the recognition of higher education qualifications and scrutinizing the transnational dimensions of education policy amidst current geopolitical transformations. She is committed to mentoring PhD students and contributing to the development of alternative educational perspectives.
