About Research

Over the years a number of unique research fields have been established here including:

• ontolinguistics (developmental psycholinguistics);
• defectology (therapeutic pedagogy and the development of inclusive education in Russia);
• bilingualism (specific features of bilingual education);
• integrated research in childhood and child development;
• northern studies (studies of the indigenous minorities of the Far East and Siberia)

Our scientists and research groups undertake a range of expert work in their respective fields, and the knowledge they have acquired and accumulated has become a valuable information source for further development of science and education.

Our research interests include a variety of scientific fields (humanities, social and natural sciences). A major part of research at the Herzen University focuses on specific features of instruction in all academic subjects and their methodological and didactic principles.
