Visual Education

The visual, which we encounter, for example, in the form of images, has increasingly become an important source of thinking and research—at the latest, since the rise of digitalization. The research projects in this area focus on the role of images in educational processes, how images produce, structure, and represent knowledge, and the experiences people have with images.
