Ahmed Salehin Kaderi is a PhD Candidate & Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Toronto (OISE). His doctoral research is linked to his supervisor Professor Kathy Bickmore’s larger funded research project, “Peace-building citizenship learning in Canada, Mexico and Bangladesh: School connections with life experience.” Ahmed examines how some language, Islam, history, and social studies teachers and their selected students in violent and less violent contexts of Bangladesh understand and feel about social-political conflicts and violence in their neighborhoods and beyond. He also investigates how these people understand and feel about their citizenship for peace-building in relation to those problems, plus how they see schooling as helping and hindering their democratic and peace-building citizenship competency building.

I wrote my thesis on democratic citizenship education in social studies. I am currently an Assistant Professor in Education at the Norwegian School of Theology. At the moment I am working on two articles on democratic citizenship education – one in English and one in Norwegian – based on my thesis. The articles will deal with the relationship between how social studies curriculum is organized and how teachers facilitate the acquisition of democratic knowledge, skills and values. Also, an official report on the overall condition of the Norwegian school has just been released, which backs up the empirical findings in my thesis. Further, in the extension of my thesis, I have started the initial phase of working out a PhD-project. I would very much like to build on the work I have already done, by doing a more in-depth investigation of how democratic education facilitate students acquisition of democratic knowledge, skills, strategies and values. I will most likely base the study on interviews (with teachers) and observation. Key research interests: Democratic citizenship education, social studies didactics, political socialization, political literacy, controversial issues in democratic education. |
