Erik Gustavsson is a Lecturer at the Department of Education, Faculty of Social Sciences, Linnaeus University. His academic journey began as a doctoral student in pedagogy in 2015, transitioning to a teaching role while maintaining engagement in research. He holds qualifications as a subject teacher in social studies and religion.
- PhD in Pedagogy (Educational Policy & Philosophy)
His research focuses on the pedagogical and philosophical dimensions of school choice policies, examining their social justice implications through frameworks like Rawls' liberalism, Nancy Fraser's recognition theory, and Amartya Sen's capability approach. He is affiliated with the Curriculum Theory and Didactics (SITE) research group, contributing to curriculum development and didactic theory.
Erik's publications analyze Swedish school choice policies historically and discursively, emphasizing justice perspectives. His doctoral thesis (2022) systematically critiques the policy using liberal justice theories, while earlier works explore discursive shifts and value-based conflicts.
As an educator, he teaches core pedagogy courses in teacher education programs and supervises student essays, integrating his policy research into practice. His work bridges philosophical inquiry with empirical educational challenges, aiming to problematize systemic inequities.
