Project description

The project examines how teacher education programs at universities in northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland include themes related to the Sámi people (and other northern minorities), how the education is organized at both the systemic and institutional levels in the different countries, and how this, in turn, influences the practical work of individual teacher educators. The project takes a curriculum-theoretical approach and raises questions about the recontextualization of knowledge and about how different ways of organizing teacher education create varying conditions for how a specific area of knowledge is introduced and taught.
