Live and act

Johannes Gruntz-Stoll was born in 1952 as the fourth child of Hans and Marie-Theres Gruntz-Treier in Basel ; After graduating from high school in 1972, he attended the teachers' college and taught from 1974 first in Basel, later in Grub in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden . From 1979 to 1986 he studied pedagogy , pedagogical psychology , philosophy and ethnology in Bern and Tübingen and did his doctorate with a study on socialization processes in children's groups.

Following his habilitation at the Leopold-Franzens University Innsbruck with a study on pedagogical antinomies and paradoxical anthropology, Johannes Gruntz-Stoll took over the management of the Institute for Special Pedagogy and Psychology at the University of Basel in 2002 ; After changing the institute from the university to the pedagogical college of the Northwestern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences in 2006, he moved from the institute management to the head of the professorship for special education and psychology.

His retirement in 2013 was followed by engagements in the social sector, participation in research and publication projects, preoccupation with Georgian language and culture, and in 2017 the foundation of the publishing house Das Archiv.
