Assistant Professor Mette Buchardt has together with Professor Pirjo Markkola and Professor Heli Valtonen, Dept. of History & Ethnology, University of Jyväskylä published a volume:

Education, state and citizenship: NordWel Studies in Historical Welfare State Research 4, NordWel: Helsinki 2013.

The volume is a result of projects and research seminars made within the frame of The Nordic Centre of Excellence NordWel (The Nordic Welfare State – Historical Foundations and Future Challenges)

The publication includes contributions from Nordic researchers in the history of education and knowledge in a welfare state perspective, exploring the history of educational institutions, knowledge and schooling.

On the basis of Nordic research from primary school to university level, this volume addresses the ways in which studies in the development of educational institutions and educational thought in the Nordic countries can enlarge the scope of welfare state history. This is done by focusing on how, in different periods between mid-19th to mid-20th century, the educational system aspired towards schooling into citizenship - to educate future citizens and to develop understandings of citizenship and forms of the state.
