Research project What health promotion work has looked like in preschool historically until today

Questions that are being investigated are: What visions and arguments about health and hygiene were present and used in debates about preschool during the period? How did meetings between different professions working with children's health take shape in preschool? In what ways did health work shape the conditions of preschool children?

Specifically, Moa Rosenquist af Åkershult will study the health promotion work in relation to negotiations about public health, citizenship and normality that took place both in preschool and the surrounding society. Her plan is to look at it historically up to the present day. There are, among other things, archives that contain observations of children from kindergarten during the 1930s and 40s.

Supervisors: Anne-Li Lindgren (main supervisor), Sofia Grunditz and Åsa Bartholdsson.
