Educational Research: Boundaries, Breaches and Bridges

8-10 March 2018 • University of Oslo, Norway

The 46th Congress of the Nordic Educational Research Association (NERA) was held from 8th to 10th of March 2018 in Oslo, Norway. 

Thank you to the 613 participants who contributed to the success of the Congress.

The conference explored how boundaries between knowledge fields and actors are challenged and how new boundaries are constructed in educational sciences today. 
Key questions to be addressed include:

  • How are boundaries transcended and (re)defined in the educational sciences?
  • How is the traditional organization of the educational sciences challenged in the wake of interdisciplinary research and user involvement?
  • What opportunities and challenges lie in disciplinary demarcations, when it comes to balancing productive exchange across boundaries?
