Rosén is interested in educational philosophical, curriculum theoretical and didactical (art of teaching) issues concerning the ethical and political dimensions of democracy and education, broadly. She is particularly interested in the ambivalences, the contradictions and conflicts that democracy aspects and values ​​often contain - and how these are played out in the concrete classroom, in relation to different contexts and (legal) policy conditions. It can, for example, be about hurtful speech and the formal and informal agreements on what could and should be expressed in the public space of education. Overall, Rosén's research interests concerns education in relation to society, and she explores her reserach questions by combining critical perspectives with sensitivity and curiousity.

A current research interest, and the focus of the PhD project, is the changing legal discourse in education and the many different educational and complex questions it generates. In her project Rosén explores the ambivalences of juridification in relation to a democratic education, with the legislation on discrimination and degrading treatment as an empirical focus. The dissertation, which will consist of three different articles and a thesis kappa, is planned to be defended in early 2023. For more information, see Publications.
