Elin Rødahl Lie serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Education at the University of Oslo, where she has taught core courses including UVEXFAC10, PED1001, PED1002, and MIED4100 since 2015 while concurrently pursuing her PhD (2020–present) on gender equality as an educational ideal in Norwegian schooling.
Her academic credentials include:
- Master's degree in Pedagogy (2014), Department of Education, University of Oslo
- Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies (2009), Centre for Gender Research, University of Oslo
Her research critically examines intersections of education, gender, equality, and democracy through feminist theory and philosophy of education. With a focus on Bildung (formation) and democratic ideals, she investigates how concepts of happiness, success, and life mastery shape educational practices—particularly challenging neoliberal narratives in Nordic schooling. Her work consistently questions whether contemporary policies align with foundational egalitarian principles.
Analysis of her 2018–2023 publications reveals a cohesive trajectory dissecting Norwegian educational discourse through critical feminist lenses. Recurring themes include tensions between individual achievement and collective equality, the commodification of happiness in schools, and erosion of Nordic egalitarian ideals—all analyzed through philosophical frameworks emphasizing justice and critical space.
Lie actively contributes to the Humanities Studies in Education (HumStud) research group and previously participated in the completed Nordic Education Model project, though no grant funding or student advisement details are publicly documented.
