| Paulgaard has conducted research on spatial dimensions on young people’s identity constructions, mobility options and opportunities for education and work. In opposition to theories of globalization claiming that the importance of place is increasingly reduced when it comes to people’s experiences and opportunities, she has combined cultural geographical approaches with theories of social learning in analyses of how macro-level changes lead to an uneven pattern of development between places and regions. This approach will be important in the study of how the meaning of and the opportunities for education is embedded in time and space. As for methodological approaches, she brings with her expertise on different qualitative approaches as fieldwork, interview, classroom studies and the use of different narratives in qualitative analyses (films, pupils texts, biographies). |
