Adrian Lundberg
Senior lecturer

Presentation

Adrian Lundberg is an Senior Lecturer in Education at the Department of School Development and Leadership. His work examines how educational professionals interpret and respond to change, and how leadership, professional agency, collaboration, and organisational conditions contribute to the development of schools and other educational organisations.

His research focuses on educational leadership, school development, professional learning, and professional perspectives. Earlier research examined teachers’ perspectives on multilingualism, educational policy, and curriculum reform. Methodologically, he specialises in Q methodology and combines it with interviews, focus groups, observations, document analysis, and longitudinal case studies.

Adrian currently co-supervises two doctoral researchers at Malmö University. Elisabet Malvebo investigates vocational teachers’ didactic choices in simulated learning environments, while Lisa Lynch examines preschool heads’ room for manoeuvre within the micropolitics of staff cooperatives.

He teaches in teacher education, master’s programmes, professional development, higher education pedagogy, and research methodology. His teaching connects theory and empirical research with participants’ professional experiences and challenges in educational practice. Based on the local pedagogical merit system, Adrian is a university teacher at the distinguished level.

His academic service includes project development, research capacity building, methodological collaboration, peer review, and participation in national and international research networks. He also contributes to collaborations connecting universities, schools, educational leaders, and other professional stakeholders. At Malmö University, he is currently a member of the department's research council.
