Rolf Wiesemes is one of the founders of the Cross-disciplinary Research Group at the University of Nottingham. He is currently employed as Senior Research Fellow at the School of Education, University of Nottingham. He works mainly in the area of educational research, a field which could be described as interdisciplinary by nature. Overall, his research interests are concerned with questions of learner identities in classrooms with a particular focus on language use in foreign language classrooms.

He is also working in the area of Holocaust and genocide education together with project partners in the UK, continental Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, he is involved in evaluating and researching visual learning. Rolf is keen to develop inter-disciplinary research further, as he considers it as vital for promoting more research conversations across the disciplines and as a means to gain a better understanding of complex issues (and related learning interactions).
