Offer description:

In this transdisciplinary research field, Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) focuses on co-creation of knowledge and learning among a variety of stakeholders. By co-creation we mean collaboration and dialogue with and between actors, with the aim to understand, promote, and strengthen sustainable societal development processes. In this core research field, co-creation can be, but not limited to, studies of power relations and organisational structures that enhance or hinder processes of change in relation to actors’ knowledge creation and learning processes for societal development. Example of thematic focus might be, but is not limited to, studies of: – Political-economic management, organisation, governance and policy for sustainable societal development, erasing boundaries and creating new paths for sustainable societal development. – Segregation, the sense of belonging, social equity, gender equality, inclusiveness, promoting social practices for sustainable and equitable social development processes that includes the entire community. – Psychosocial health and wellbeing, focusing on knowledge creation and learning that promotes social development with good, equal psychosocial health and wellbeing for all groups in society.
