Dr. Ingrid Bosseldal

Biography

Ingrid Bosseldal is a senior lecturer at Lund University specializing in Educational Sciences. Her research interests focus on the intersection of sociology, psychology, and philosophy in education, particularly examining power relations in social interactions and the discourses surrounding upbringing and education. Bosseldal investigates the dynamics of asymmetrical relationships, such as those between children and adults and between students and teachers, to understand how these are shaped and justified through social practices. Among her key research themes are the sociology of school, the purpose of education using Gert Biesta's concepts, and the role of school architecture in pedagogical practices. She also engages in interdisciplinary projects that incorporate literary examples and educational policies. Through her work, she aims to deepen the understanding of educational content and its impact on students' futures, as well as to highlight the challenges inherent in cultivating ethically justifiable asymmetrical relationships in complex social contexts. Bosseldal draws inspiration from thinkers like Donna Haraway and B.F. Skinner, and she emphasizes the importance of taking time to explore research questions thoroughly.
