About the speaker:

Viktor Johannsson is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Södertörn University, Stockholm. The overarching theme of his research has been philosophical aspects of interactions between children and adults, especially in relation to early childhood education. That interest has mainly emerged as a work on children’s philosophy and in philosophy of education as an encounter between ethics, aesthetics, and literary theory. Moreover, he has worked on exploring methods of ordinary language philosophy on topics such as learning, philosophy of play and philosophy through play. The research has been highly influenced by philosophers such as Stanley Cavell, Cora Diamond, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, but also thinkers such as Simone Weil, Sören Kierkegaard, Iris Murdoch, John Dewey and Gareth Matthews. He has often turned to authors of children’s literature such as Astrid Lindgren, Cressida Cowell, J.K. Rowling and Tolkien; and pictures books by Sven Nordqvist, Shaun Tan, Dr. Seuss, Jimmy Liao, and Stian Hole; but also on adult fiction including works by Ibsen, Hamsun, Knausgaard, Austen, Tolstoj and Coetzee. At the moment he is exploring the possibility of letting his research meet different forms of educational practices in indigenous contexts.

Everyone is welcome!
