Carl Cederberg

Carl Cederberg is an Associate Professor at Södertörn University, working within the Department of Culture and Learning in the School for Culture and Education. He is actively engaged with the Center for Practical Knowledge (CPK), where he teaches specialized courses, Teacher Training, Police Training, and Philosophy. As the director of studies for the doctoral program in the theory of practical knowledge, he plays a significant leadership role in academic training.

His academic background is firmly rooted in philosophy, with a 2010 doctoral dissertation titled Resaying the Human. Levinas Beyond Humanism and Antihumanism. Cederberg's research primarily draws from classical and continental philosophy traditions, applying these perspectives to ethical and political theory as well as professional research.

Cederberg's scholarly work demonstrates consistent thematic development across his publications. His research trajectory shows evolution from foundational work on Levinas's philosophy toward broader examinations of European identity, welfare systems, and practical knowledge in professional contexts. His publications reveal a sustained engagement with questions of ethics, political theory, and the philosophical underpinnings of professional practice in contemporary society.

Cederberg has made significant contributions through edited volumes including Europe Faces Europe: Narratives from Its Eastern Half (2017), Yrkesmänniskan i den kapitaliserade välfärden (2019), and Exploring Practical Knowledge: Life-World Studies of Professionals in Education and Research (2023), demonstrating his leadership in collaborative academic projects.

In addition to his book publications, Cederberg has directed research projects such as 'Dialog som styrning i samhällsutvecklarrollen' (2020), a preliminary study conducted with the Swedish Transport Administration, examining dialogue's role in public sector governance. His work bridges theoretical philosophy with practical applications in public administration and professional contexts.
