  • Summary

  • In this episode, I speak with Professor Nina Bonderup Dohn about education and knowledge transfer. Nina is a Senior Fellow og Humanities and the Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS). For further insights into her research, watch her DIAS lecture "Designing for situated knowledge in a world of change."


    MA, Ph.D, Dr.phil Nina Bonderup Dohn is Professor in Learning and ICT at the Department of Design and Communication at the University of Southern Denmark.


    She is Head of the Center for Learning Computational Thinking, an interdisciplinary center involving researchers from the Faculty of Humanities (Department of Design and Communication and Department for the Study of Culture), the Faculty of Science (Department of Mathematics and Computer Science) and the Faculty of Engineering (Maersk-McKinney Moller Institute). She also leads the research program Learning, Design and Digitalization at the Department of Design and Communication. She currently (2020-2024) holds a research grant from Independent Research Fund Denmark for the project Designing for Situated Computational Thinking with Computational Things which involves researchers from three Danish universities and four international ones (in Great Britain, Australia, and the Netherlands). She recently finalized another project, Designing for Situated Knowledge in a World of Change, also financed by Independent Research Fund Denmark


    In 2004, she was awarded the Teaching Prize for the Faculty of Humanities, upon nomination from her students.


    Her research field bridges between epistemology, learning theory, and cognitive theory, and does so both philosophically and in terms of the development and testing of concrete designs for learning in practice, with a special focus on the role of ICT. Interdisciplinarity is key in her work, including the metaphilosophical explication of the roles philosophy can have in relation to other disciplines. Her research centers on questions such as what human knowledge is, how it is developed, how one can facilitate others’ in developing knowledge, and what roles technology can play.
