Dr. Charlotte Wolff
Dr. Charlotte E. Wolff has an interdisciplinary background in Linguistics, Education, and Anthropology, combined with many years of experience working with refugees and teaching in urban classrooms. In 2016, she completed her doctoral degree at the Open University of the Netherlands in Educational Sciences and her dissertation, Revisiting ‘withitness’: Differences in teachers’ representations, perceptions and interpretations of classroom management, won the VOR/VFO Educational Research prize for best dissertation in 2016. Her research is characterized by a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative methods – such as grounded theory and thematic content analysis – with quantitative measures – such as those derived from textometry and eye tracking measurements – to balance the depth and rigor of qualitative insights with the inferential power of explorative and quasi-experimental designs. Her current teaching responsibilities as assistant professor at the University of Iceland primarily involve preparing future teachers for the challenges of language education in increasingly multilingual contexts. This is linked to her strong theoretical and practical interest in pedagogy and educational equity. Her international profile includes publications in the Journal of Teacher Education, Teaching and Teacher Education, and Instructional Science, and draws upon a network of researchers, teacher educators, and classroom teachers in Europe and North America. Her supervisory experience includes individual and collaborative supervision of bachelor, master, and doctoral level students.
