Classroom,
a teenage view

Lisa Rosén Rasmussen is an Associate Professor in the Comparative and Contemporary History of Education at the Danish School of Education (DPU), Aarhus University in Denmark. She is specialized in material culture and didactics, and she has been particularly engaged in the contemporary history of educational architecture and school space, from construction to commissioning and from an everyday perspective in relations to pedagogical ideas as well as political governance. Lisa has published widely on the topic under titles such as Material school design and educational governance, Building Pedagogies and Designing School(s): School architecture and curriculum. She is also a co-editor of the book 'Making Education,' which is the first text to comprehensively explore the relationship between material school design and educational governance. By examining current and historical material school designs, the book sheds light on the intersection of politics, economics, aesthetics, and pedagogical concepts. It investigates how educational governance is shaped, expressed, and transformed through the physical aspects of school environments, including design, spatial organization, furnishings, technology, and regulatory tools.
