Area(s) of Expertise

Dr. Hoggan is a Professor in the Educational Leadership, Policy and Human Development Department. His research addresses transformative learning, or those experiences that dramatically affect how people experience, conceptualize, and interact with the world around them. He has studied transformative learning with a wide range of research participants, including postsecondary and graduate students, cancer survivors, military veterans, and migrants.

Since 2019, Dr. Hoggan has been extensively involved in research and engagement projects in Central and Eastern Europe, including research on the learning needs of migrants and the receiving society in the wake of the influx of refugees from Syria (2015) and Ukraine (2022). In 2019-2021, He has been a visiting professor at the Zentrum Flucht und Migration (Center for Flight and Migration) at the Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt University (Germany) and the Department of Psychology at the University of Padua (Italy). He is a founding member of the Deutsch-Ukrainischer Dialog association, which facilitates support for Ukrainian refugees in southern Germany, as well as the integration between refugees and the local community.

Emanating from this work with migrants and their host communities is a key contemporary focus of Dr. Hoggan's work: civic learning in adulthood. Co-editor of The Good Society: A Journal of Civic Studies and an Editorial Board Member of the UNESCO Chair of Lifelong Learning in Kyiv, Ukraine, Dr. Hoggan delivers regular lectures on "Learning for Democracy". He is also Co-director of the "Institute of Civic Studies and Learning for Democracy."
