About this position

The University of Stavanger is offering a PhD fellowship in Arts and Culture in Education, with emphasis on Drama and Theatre, within the Faculty of Arts and Education and its Department of Education and Sports Science.

The doctoral project will investigate the role of arts and culture—particularly drama and theatre—in Norway’s future common school. It will generate empirical knowledge about how arts- and culture-based approaches can support a more practical, relevant and inclusive school, and examine the significance of aesthetic learning processes in developing the school of the future.

The proposed research may focus on primary and/or secondary school settings and can also include teacher education. Projects should engage with the Norwegian national curriculum LK20, its core values concerning the joy of creating, engagement and the urge to explore, and relevant national or international initiatives in arts-based teaching and learning.

The doctoral candidate will join the interdisciplinary DEMCI/CREATE research community at the University of Stavanger. The research environment offers connections with the Dembra teacher education network, the Norwegian Centre for Arts and Culture in Education, and the arts education community at the Faculty of Performing Arts in Bjergsted. The position combines doctoral coursework, an independent research project, participation in research communities, dissemination, a trial lecture and a public thesis defence.

The fellowship provides supervision and support for academic and professional development within an active, inclusive and internationally oriented university environment.
