About Ann-Marie Eriksson

I hold a position as Senior Lecturer and Assistant Head of Department for Education with the Department of Education, Communication and Learning. From August 2015 until December 2021 I held a position as the Director of the Unit for Academic Language (ASK).

Research interests My research interests concern processes of learning in institutionalized environments and especially textually mediated forms of knowledge production in higher education. My research includes studies of supervision, tuition and academic writing as situated processes of knowing. Such processes are characterized by situations and prolonged events where people encounter and need to deal with knowledge that is new to them. I take a particular interest in what challenges text production involves for the social and discursive formation of disciplinary knowing and for perspective-taking in interdisciplinary settings. These interests are theoretically grounded in sociocultural traditions of learning and development, and in dialogical theories of human communication and sense-making. I was an active member of The Linnaeus Centre for Research on Learning, Interaction and Mediated Communication in Contemporary Society (LinCS) and am now part of the research programme Learning, Education and Digitalisation

Teaching interests My teaching interests primarily concern writing pedagogy in higher education, textually based supervision, peer response, academic writing, and language pedagogy/didactics. At present, my main teaching responsibilities include IT and Learning as well as Higher Education Development courses and pedagogical competence development for academic staff. My previous teaching background comprises technical communication and academic writing for STEM disciplines. Before then, I worked as a teacher of Swedish and English in upper secondary school / 6th form level and also in adult education.
