The Lab of Sociology of Education is located in the main campus of the University of Thessaly in Volos. The Lab belongs to the Department of Early Childhood Education at the University of Thessaly. The Lab of Sociology of Education conducts interdisciplinary research on education, childhood, and youth, and the commons in contemporary society. Although its focus is mainly sociological, researchers from other disciplines in the social sciences or the humanities (education, politics, social anthropology, psychology, or economics) are welcome to participate. The Laboratory is digitally equipped, and available to the users for elaborating data. The Lab is focused on discourse theory and analysis, ethnography, educational commons, and the social construction of youth and childhood identities in the conditions of late modernity and globalization. Furthermore, special attention is given to alternative pedagogies, such as the commons-based pedagogy and education.
Research Activities:
The main aim of the lab is to promote theoretical understanding and provide empirical knowledge about childhood, youth, and education to reverse social inequalities and enable active social inclusion.
The Lab aims to fulfill the research and educative needs of students and teachers via specifically structured programs of research, lifelong learning and knowledge dissemination at the public at large.
The purpose is to bring together members of the Faculty interested and engaged in theoretically significant social research, which is empirically grounded.
