PhD Project
My PhD project concerns information practices in elementary school. A starting point for the project is to understand how information literacy is enacted in the social practices of problem-centred assignments during the first school years.

The thesis is built on a sociocultural perspective on learning; a school of thought that originates in the work of the Russian psychologist Lev Semenovich Vygotsky. I’m also influenced by the ‘new sociology of childhood’. Methodologically, my thesis is informed by a visual ethnographic approach, which entails a focus on the visual aspects of the practices studied and which therefore requires the use of a camcorder.

The project is conducted within The Linnaeus Centre for Research on Learning, Interaction and Mediated Communication in Contemporary Society (LinCS)
