Very much rooted in the tradition of Hermeneutic Pedagogy and informed by discussions around Queer Theory and Inter- & Transculturality, his research is interested in the systematic structures of theories and practices of education and their embeddedness in the context of the History of Ideas, Science, Philosophy and Art. The temporal scope reaches from Antiquity to the present - along exoteric, but also esoteric lines of tradition. Keenly interested in Japanese culture, a substantial part of Karsten's research is devoted to intercultural comparisons of 'Western' and, especially, East Asian & other approaches to education. He co-leads the 'Experiments in Educational Theory' research group based at the University of Strathclyde.
