In this research group, our mission is to provide a platform for creating, reflecting on, and sharing perspectives on social science, education, and care. We aim to clarify and challenge underlying assumptions, values, concepts, and arguments within these domains to foster a deeper understanding and generate meaningful insights.

Research projects
Psychoeducation from a critical and normative perspective
The main question of the research project is how we can best understand the function and meaning of psychoeducation within the normative layer of behavioral science, its importance for clinical practice and its impact on society and individuals.
Research
In our research, we employ a transdisciplinary approach that involves connecting ideas, practices, and people in both our teaching and research. We focus on three fundamental social arrangements: science, education, and care. By analyzing and evaluating the normative structures embedded within these arrangements, we aim to address the pressing challenge of finding a sustainable way of life for humanity.
