معرفی
Simon Ceder is an Associate Professor in Education at Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design, where he is affiliated with the Department of Art and Craft Education. He teaches courses on education and research methodology while maintaining an active research program focused on posthumanist theory and its applications in educational contexts.
Dr. Ceder's research primarily explores two interconnected areas: sexuality education in Swedish schools and knowledge production about human evolution in museum settings. His major ongoing projects include 'Co-created sex and cohabitation education,' funded by the Swedish Research Council (2021-2024), which examines interdisciplinary approaches to sexuality education in primary schools, and 'Man exposed – knowledge production on human evolution at natural history museums,' which investigates how visual and material representations shape public understanding of human evolution.
His scholarly work demonstrates a consistent application of posthumanist and new materialist theoretical frameworks to educational questions, particularly focusing on how knowledge is produced, embodied, and enacted in educational settings. Recent publications reveal a growing emphasis on participatory methodologies, embodied learning approaches, and the material dimensions of educational practices. His research often bridges theoretical innovation with practical implications for teaching and curriculum development in sensitive subject areas.
- Nordic Educational Research Association (NERA) network coordinator for Post-approaches to Education
- Coordinator for Educational Science Network for Sexuality and Relations (UnSeR)
- Assistant supervisor for doctoral students at multiple Swedish universities
Dr. Ceder has secured research funding from the Swedish Research Council and collaborates with institutions including Linköping University (LiU), the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences (GIH), and Dalarna University. His work has significant implications for educators seeking to develop more inclusive, embodied, and materially responsive approaches to teaching, particularly in areas like sexuality education where traditional approaches often struggle with complex value questions.
