Upcoming conference on international education!
The project team are preparing a conference on themes relating to international education. Check out the website here! There is still time to submit an abstract too - June 3rd is the extension.
Generally we hope to discuss issues like:
- whether the nature of 'knowledge' in a degree program is perceived by students and staff as 'global'
- whether a 'global' curriculum is or can be informed by local contexts and conceptions of teaching and learning, and
- how educating the 'global citizen' implies a standardised 'delivery' of the same curriculum worldwide, emanating from Westernised education systems.
- encourage inclusive practices in learning and teaching in the international context
- critically examine opportunities for and barriers to collaborative research and funding
- foster networks for research throughout the conference to encourage people to identify research areas and possible connections with likeminded others, and
- identify and explore research methodologies and new ways of doing research.
We hope you can make to Kuala Lumpur next February!
