Cecilia Caiman

Cecilia Caiman is an Associate Professor in Science Education at Stockholm University. Her current research projects address teachers’ and principals’ professional growth, with education for sustainability foregrounded. The role of aesthetics in science education, students’ voices in public spaces in alignment with the perspective of 'learning as participation', as well as students’ narratives and imagination, constitute additional perspectives in which Cecilia engages, both in research and in teacher education. Cecilia’s work is often grounded in pragmatic theory and Deleuze’s empirical experimentalism.
