TIDsROM
Interdisciplinary approach to temporal and spatial otherness in society, culture, and nature.
The research group works with geographical, historical and social scientific research, and investigates how new knowledge and scientific methods from research disciplines like geography, history, anthropology and religious studies can be didactically integrated in the classroom.
The research group gathers members who investigate society, culture and nature in their temporal and spatial dimensions and contexts. The members are historians, geographers, religious scholars and social anthropologists. This means that these dimensions will often be combined in different ways, with different analytical perspectives.
Many of us also work with didactic themes related to teaching plans, teaching aids and school politics, as well as with more specific didactic questions related to each discipline. We believe knowledge founded in the humanities and social sciences should be given more headroom in the school system, and that the school should also utilize the teaching potential in themes that are removed from the pupils’ every day experiences.
