معرفی
Eva Klope is a Lecturer in Pedagogy at Linnaeus University, specializing in vocational education with a focus on identity formation, gender studies, and professional skills. She holds a doctoral degree (2020) on 'Respectable Hairdressers: Femininity and (Professional) Identity Among Girls in Upper Secondary School Hairdressing Education.' Her research explores vocational education dynamics in fields like hairdressing, healthcare, and hospitality, emphasizing student experiences of workplace harassment and identity negotiation.
She belongs to the Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Education, and contributes to research groups like the Ethnographic Forum and Research on Pedagogical Professions and Practices (PEPP). Current projects investigate sexual harassment in vocational training (e.g., healthcare and hospitality sectors) and teachers' boundaries with parents in Swedish schools. Recent publications address service behavior in hospitality education, sensory learning in hairdressing, and systemic gaps in addressing workplace harassment.
Eva previously worked as a hairdresser and vocational teacher, informing her ethnographic studies. Key works include analyzing how vocational curricula shape professional identities and the challenges faced by students in gendered industries. Her 2022 keynote highlighted femininity norms in hairdressing education, advocating for inclusive pedagogical practices.
Her research often bridges theory and practice, aiming to improve educational policies and student preparedness for real-world professional challenges. Grants and collaborations focus on vocational training's role in addressing societal issues like workplace safety and professional identity.
