  • Aesthetic learning processes and play 

Teaching

  • Pre-service teacher training
  • Studies in Education
  • Continuing and Further Education
  • Decentralized Competence Development 

Research

  • Aesthetic Learning Processes and Play in primary and higher education
  • Professional development and discomfort in higher education
