Dr. Julia Frohn serves as Head of Research at the Professional School of Education, Humboldt University of Berlin, and previously held an Acting Professor position in Educational Science at the University of Münster. Her academic career spans multiple prestigious German institutions including Goethe University Frankfurt and Leuphana University Lüneburg, where she has consistently focused on advancing inclusive education practices through research and teacher professionalization initiatives.
Her educational background includes:
- Doctorate in German Literature from Humboldt University of Berlin (2010-2014), with dissertation on "Literary exchange in divided Germany (1945-1972)"
- Studies for the position of Studienrat (L4) for German/English at Humboldt University of Berlin (2003-2009)
Dr. Frohn's research program centers on inclusive (subject-specific) didactics, digitality in inclusive education, teaching under pandemic conditions, and teacher professionalization. She has developed the influential Didactic Model for Inclusive Teaching and Learning (DiMiLL), which serves as both a theoretical framework and practical tool for educators working with diverse student populations. Her work bridges educational theory with classroom application, emphasizing how teachers can develop adaptive competence to meet the needs of heterogeneous learning groups.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a sophisticated trajectory from theoretical foundations to practical implementation. Her scholarship increasingly examines how digital learning platforms can transform inclusive teaching practices while addressing pandemic-induced educational challenges. The integration of her research on adaptive teaching competence with digital tools demonstrates her commitment to developing concrete resources that empower educators in diverse settings.
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Elsa Neumann scholarship of the State of Berlin (2010-2013)
- Graduate scholarship from the German Literature Archive Marbach (2011 and 2012)
- Printing subsidy from the Federal Foundation for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship
Dr. Frohn has secured substantial third-party funding for impactful research projects including the BMBF-funded "Didactic Qualification for Inclusion of Prospective Teachers" (FDQI-HU-MINT) and "Designing pedagogical relationships in the context of digital learning platforms" at Goethe University Frankfurt. Her collaborative approach is evident across numerous interdisciplinary partnerships with researchers nationwide.
She leads the Research and Transfer Department at Humboldt University's Professional School of Education, where her team has developed innovative digital learning modules for teacher professionalization focused on inclusive didactics, adaptive teaching competence, and language education. These resources, often shared as Open Educational Resources, represent significant contributions to making inclusive education practices accessible to educators across Germany.
