Dr. Dan Mamlok

My major research areas include philosophy of education and sociology of education. My research explore the sociocultural aspects of integrating technology and education, and specifically deals with questions pertaining to democracy, education, and citizenship. In addition, I am interested in aesthetic education. I believe that the humanistic education has an important role in advancing critical skills, creativity, and autonomous thinking.
