Vita

Lisanne Heilmann has been part of the working group on ‘media education’ at the University of Bremen and the ZeMKI since April 2024. Her research and teaching focus on questions of basic skills for adults, especially in the areas of media, politics and health. Special attention is always paid to social (power) relations and questions of democracy and diversity/difference. She completed her doctorate at the University of Hamburg in 2020 on subjectivation processes in adult basic education (Published under: Subject, Power and Literacy. Discursive construction of literacy and its quantitative consideration in the dispositivs of health and gender; https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-33032-3). She was part of the ‘LEO Study 2018 – Living with Low Literacy’ in which the reading, writing and basic skills of the German-speaking adult population were surveyed on a representative basis.
She is currently working in the IMPACT project on new forms of support for university teaching through the scalable use of ‘artificial intelligence’/large language models and is researching the possibilities of critical learning and critical education in the context of social media and AI/LLM, especially on the TikTok platform, as part of her habilitation project.
