«Just do it» – «Se hva som skjer». Dosentløp i krysningsfeltet mellom sosialfaglig arbeid og kultur

Abstract

The chapter reveals how two publicity slogans and three questions related to how one attains professional knowledge have encouraged the author to develop his career, from a once-nervous lecturer to a competent and knowledgeable professor/docent within a number of subjects in social education. In addition, the author elaborates extensively on the development of a theatre that promotes the abilities of intellectually and evelopmentally disabled actors in their performance. A survey of his publications, which constituted his application for promotion to a docent position, is also presented in a table that shows how each item relates to the criteria for promotion.
