Susanna Tesconi's work is inspired by the interaction between people and technology in experiential learning contexts. After graduating in Philosophy of Language (Università degli Studi di Pisa, Italy), she worked as a primary school teacher from 1999 to 2007, where she had the opportunity to actively participate in the first massive implementation of ICT in compulsory education, experiencing first-hand all the tensions and benefits that this unique situation presented for teachers. This was the starting point for the reflective practice that became her main research interest: the co-design of learning environments rich in creative technology as a tool for teacher training.
Currently, she is a professor at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, a member of the Mussol research group, and her research activity focuses on the study of arts, design, contemporary philosophical and technoscientific thought from a perspective that integrates educational practice and the design of learning environments with the production of theoretical reflection. Her main interests are linked to the generation of educational environments and artifacts that, from a socioconstructivist approach, allow the exploration of the educational potential of the relationships between disciplinary domains.
She is a mother of two children, aged 5 and 7, and spokesperson for the 'Adolescence free of mobile' Initiative, a group of families concerned about the social trend of providing a smartphone to teenagers as they enter secondary school (12 years old) and advocating for social and political measures to delay this provision until at least 16 years old.
