I am currently writing my doctoral thesis, with the working title "The Quest Between the Lines: Pursuing Professional Wisdom Through Narrative Art". The thesis comprises three case studies that each explores an instance in which literary fiction or autobiography is used in professional education as a resource for developing skills and/or understandings that relate to professional wisdom.
The first case study is focused on the use of science fiction as a device through which engineerings students on the bachelor and master level could reflect on the ethics of technology development. The second case study explores how social work students used autobiographical literature as a resource for thinking reflexively about how they, as proto-professionals half-way through their training, were shaped by their personal experiences, and about resulting professional affordances and vulnerabilities. Finally, the third case study looks into how medical students reflected on judicial professional behavior in high-stakes situations - what it entails and how it is developed - with reference to a short story introduced to them during their third year of medical studies.
The thesis draws on an understanding of professional wisdom that combines practical, moral, and affective dimensions. My purpose in applying a case study methodology is to arrive at a situated and nuanced understanding of how students use narrative art to approach these various dimensions of professional wisdom, and how they connect - or struggle to connect - the resulting ideas to their future professional role and practice.
My main supervisor is Eva Brodin, associate professor at the Department of Educational Sciences of Lund University, and my co-supervisor is Martin G. Erikson, associate professor at the Department of Educational Work of Borås University.
Apart from my doctoral project, I am also a co-worker at Lund University's Division for Higher Education Development.
