Hillevi Lenz Taguchi
About me
Professor of Child and Youth Studies and Early Childhood Education
Section for Early Childhood Education
Hillevi has experience of critical, feminist and gender-pedagogies, feminist activist work in higher education and early childhood education practices since the mid-1990s. The last 15 years, her interest has been in the theoretical developments and transgressive methodologies as part of Posthumanist, Feminist New Materialist and Post Qualitative approaches. Currently she is focusing on the possibilities of onto-epistemological, emergent and transdisciplinary work underpinned by ontological relationality.
Teaching
I primarily teach science theory and methodology in the social sciences on the master and doctorate levels and supervise students on all levels. On demand I give a PhD course in postperspectives in the social sciences. Completed doctorate supervisions amount to 13 (2 LIC).
