Joke Vandenabeele is associate professor social and cultural pedagogy at the Laboratory for Education and Society. Her research focuses on how educational practices are being constituted within the domains of non-formal education, community education and public pedagogy. She has a diverse and wide-ranging experience with practice oriented academic research and choose to develop her research in close consultation with various stakeholders around social issues such as poverty, environment and technology policy, solidarity, living together in the diversity of a city, sustainable development and agriculture, etc. She is inspired by contemporary theories on the ecology of educational practices, making issues public, participatory design of communities of practice and the temporality of educational practices.
