    Perspectives on subject didactics in national contexts

    On 9-12 September, the conference BERA/WERA was held in Manchester. One of the participants was Christina Olin-Scheller, professor of literary studies education and educational work at Karlstad University. She took part in the symposium Transnational and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Subject Didactics together with participants from other countries.

    – The symposium consisted of collaborations that have developed within the KOSS network and the conference we co-organised in Trier in May. The presentations focused on subject didactic issues in relation to different national contexts. My presentation offered a Swedish perspective and highlighted challenges for literary studies education based on powerful knowledge and powerful professional knowledge.
