MAKING THE PERFORMATIVE TURN IN NORDIC WELFARE STATE EDUCATION : Trajectories, technologies and implications.

• We aim to present and discuss the state of the art in research on this topic in Nordic contexts. Of special interest are comparative studies concerning aspects of a performative turn. From each country we will present short presentations of education governing trajectories. We then turn to what research there is in different Nordic contexts in terms about tools and technologies for such a turn in terms of “new public management”, funding mechanisms, reprofessionalisation, and governance. With this as a basic structure we present and discuss implications in terms of gender politics, social inclusion/exclusion, and globalisation. The session will consist of education policy researchers from different Nordic countries with prepared contributions concerning education policy trajectories, the tools listed above and considerations on the implications of such trajectories and tools. However, with this format we invite other scholars and interested to participate in a discussion on the performative turn and to develop a Nordic arena for this field of study. Given such presentations we identify different and similar trajectories of education governing in Nordic contexts as well as the state of research on the performative turn in education. By means of this we hope to contribute to furthering the development of research on education policy and politics in education in the Nordic countries.
