Petra Mikulan, holds a PhD in Curriculum Theory and Implementation. Her research focuses on concept development and its relationships to ideas of vitalism and life as they pertain to ethics, social justice, curriculum theory and post-qualitative reading. Her recently completed SSHRC and Killam funded postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Educational Studies at University of British Colombia, Canada, was primarily concerned with the development of concepts for educational policy that emanate from new modes of knowing life, theorizing concept work and vitalism beyond the image of an organism.
