SUMMARY:British Educational Research Association (BERA) Online
DESCRIPTION:As you can imagine we have been giving a lot of thought to BERA Conference 2021 and what it might look like and how to deliver the most inclusive\, accessible and engaging event. To that end\, we have made the decision now to host it as an entirely online conference. We will miss the opportunity to gather in person but the ongoing uncertainty generated by Covid-19\, the likely restrictions on international travel and the desire to enable as many people as possible to present and attend means that we think our energies are best spent planning the very best digital experience we can offer. \nConference will still take place in the week of 13th September 2021 and while we are still exploring the best platforms and formats to us; we are committed to hosting an innovative and interactive event that will be both live and on demand and which will hopefully enable more people than ever to engage in the opportunities that BERA Conference traditionally offers. Our online events so far have seen significant numbers attend and reach beyond our traditional audiences and we hope to replicate that with the conference itself. \nSo please keep your diaries free that week and start planning to be part of the 2021 conference experience. Abstract submission will both open and close a little later than normal this year but we will be in touch when it opens this side of Christmas and we look forward to engaging with you all as part of the process. \nDr Mhairi Beaton\, BERA Conference and Events Chair\nNick Johnson\, BERA Chief Executive\nMarie Blythe\, BERA Events Manager

SUMMARY:European Conference on Educational Research (hosted by Geneva\, Online)
DESCRIPTION:ECER 2021 – Online Conference\n\n\n\nFollowing an extensive series of conversations within EERA and with our conference partners in Geneva\, it has been decided to hold ECER 2021 as an online conference. While our preference would have been for an in-person ECER in the beautiful city of Geneva\, the uncertainty that still exists around the COVID-19 pandemic meant that this is just not possible. \nHowever\, we will be hosting an ECER in 2021 in the first week of September and we are looking forward to the opportunties offered by our move to an online environment. Together with our colleagues in the University of Geneva and in conjunction with KUONI – our technical partners – we are exploring a wide range of exciting and innovative presentation formats that will allow us to retain much of the spirit of ECERs past in this novel situation that we all now face. \nJoe O’Hara\,\nPresident of EERA \n6 November 2020

SUMMARY:European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) Online
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Biennial EARLI Conference will be hosted by the EARLI Executive Committee and will be fully online.  We encourage participants to present results and ideas on state-of-the-art research in learning and instruction\, specifically around the topic “Education and Citizenship: Learning and Instruction and the Shaping of Futures “. \n“Education and Citizenship: Learning and Instruction and the Shaping of Futures” \nDemocratic societies build on ideas of active citizens who participate in and contribute to social\, cultural and economic development. The UN Agenda 2030 specifies the goals involved in building sustainable and just societies able to successfully address the challenges we face in Anthropocene. Learning and instruction in its various settings play an increasingly important role in promoting the values\, skills and knowledge that will allow us to foster active citizens who are able to contribute to sustainable and peaceful co-existence. EARLI can help to advance our understanding of the role and impact of education by addressing the processes and outcomes of learning in broad and innovative ways. This includes attending to features such as the role of learning and instruction for the promotion of agency\, the development of collaborative skills\, the deepening of a sense of belonging in society and\, not least\, for the commitment to future learning among all citizens. \n\nThe joy and excitement of learning and of knowledge sharing and creation\, represent significant components of learning\, and they should be considered as important outcomes of learning along with our traditional competence measures. In this respect\, they need far more attention from researchers. The pandemic spreading during 2020 reminded us of the fact that the future is increasingly difficult to predict but it seems safe to say that learning and re-learning will continue a top prioirity regardless of the future. The EARLI community accepts the responsibility to show how learning and instruction are consequential for the intellectual\, social and cultural fabric of societies striving to shape their future on the road to sustainability.

SUMMARY:Advance HE Teaching and Learning Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:Teaching in the Spotlight: What is the Future for HE Curricula?\n\n\n\nDate: 6-8 July 2021 Venue: Virtual Who: All higher education professionals Book now \n\n\n\n  \nAdvance HE’s Teaching and Learning Conference 2021 will continue to position the spotlight firmly on teaching in a global context. With particular reference to this year\, the conference will explore where we go from here in terms of teaching and learning in HE\, and how will we deliver the curricula of the future. \n\n\n\nTeaching in higher education has never been under such scrutiny as during 2020 and this continues into the new academic year. Ongoing debates around teaching excellence\, fees\, value\, the student experience\, inclusion\, equality impact and more have been further scrutinised and added to by the global pandemic. \n\n\n\nSome of the consequences have been: \n\n\n\n\nA rapid move to fully virtual teaching in March 2020\, meaning as a result everyone having a view on the ‘new’ student experience\nthe value now for students compared to the ‘traditional’ HE model\nthe impact on physical elements of courses such as field work or laboratory sessions\nthe rapid change in assessment methods and engagement strategies\nhow the curriculum supports equality\, inclusion and diversity in a virtual world.\n\n\n\n\nSo what is the future for HE curricula? Has the urgency for digital learning caused a seismic shift in HE delivery that will change the future of the sector? Have inequalities in higher education been narrowed or have new ones emerged? Do we have a workforce with the skills required to deliver this new model of HE? Do the curricula we have deliver the skills and knowledge graduates need for the post-pandemic world? And where do we go from here as we move through the 2020-21 academic year and into 2021-22 and beyond? \n\n\n\nThe focus on enhancing all aspects of teaching and learning remains a critical issue for those seeking to provide an outstanding student experience at all levels of taught provision. Curricula are at the heart of excellent teaching and all aspects of this have changed as never before during 2020. \n\n\n\nJoin the conversation at #TLConf21

SUMMARY:POSTPONED FROM 2020: Enhancing Student Learning Through Innovative Scholarship (Keele)
DESCRIPTION:This conference was postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic\, but is planned to run in 2021 at Keele with the same theme as previously intended. New dates are yet to be announced\, so I have nominally put it in the calendar at the start of July. \n \nTo raise the profile of teaching only academics in the research intensive climate\, it is vital to shine a spotlight on the innovative learning and teaching they undertake. The best way to achieve this is through the promotion of the innovative scholarship of learning and teaching being driven by this subset of the academic community. This fifth meeting of a national network for staff with a strong commitment to developing teaching and scholarship excellence is therefore a forum to share innovative scholarship across disciplinary boundaries and to develop a national voice for teaching focussed academics.

SUMMARY:Online Symposium on Democratising the Urban City through Education Theory\, Policy and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Laurence Lasselle from the School of Management will co-organise an online Symposium on Democratising the Urban City through Education Theory\, Policy and Practice on 12 February.  You are warmly welcome to join her. Simply register for the event by using the form available at: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=yyZW-KgN00mqWGTvZ47wGrx9e6JABsFCvoiNYujYeq5UOFg1WllFOFZRUllTODRBMDNRUEJYQ1VBSS4u \n EERA Network 14  \n Network 14 is delighted to warmly invite you to an online event on Friday 12 February from 12noon (UK time). It will give us the opportunity to learn more about the findings of an international comparative study exploring how approaches to education can help to reconnect urban communities thanks to radical forms of engagement between institutions and communities.  \nAbstract:  \nEducation theory\, policy and practice are key factors\, not only in the improvement of a place’s academic and socio-economic outcomes but also in the development of the socio-educational relationships required to (re)connect communities in our urban cities and beyond. However\, the ways in which education can help build stronger democratic relationships with local communities is often overlooked by policymakers.  \nThis symposium features international examples of research and practice that illustrate how urban cities are attempting to (re)connect communities by viewing education as a lived experience\, a process that involves developing a shared understanding of the connections and implications of individuals’ social situations and experiences and the range and meanings of different situations and experiences.  \nBringing these different projects and initiatives together in this way addresses gaps in policy and research by illuminating the extent to which a place and its communities can become more relational through a place’s education theories\, policies and practices. The symposium starts by providing an overview of traditional approaches to education in urban areas and an exploration of the comparative way in which education institutions and policymakers in four different cities around the world Barcelona\, Berlin\, New York and Rio de Janeiro) are trying to do things differently; by engaging with their locality through various relational mechanisms and infrastructures (such as curriculum\, pedagogy and governance).  \nExamples from Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro examine how education theory and practice are being used to address the challenge of (re)connecting communities in different urban city contexts.  \nSymposium Co-ordinators: Dr Deborah Ralls\, University of Manchester and Dr Laurence Lasselle\, University of St Andrews  \nSpeakers: Dr Fernando Lannes Fernandes\, The University of Dundee and Jose Cano Escribano\, Institut Municipal d’Educació Ajuntament de Barcelona and Arnau Boix i Pla\,  \nIf you wish to participate in the event\, please fill in the form using the link above.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: European Conference on Educational Research (hosted by Geneva\, Online)
DESCRIPTION:ECER 2021 – Call for Proposals & Network Calls\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ECER 2021 Theme is ‘Education and Society: expectations\, prescriptions\, reconciliations’. However\, EERA welcomes contributions from the broad range of educational research. \nIn addition to the general call\, some networks would like to encourage discussion on specific thematic topics and have therefore issued a special call. However\, they will remain open for all other submissions within their area. \nIn order to submit to one of the NW Special Calls listed below\, select the network first and then please ensure to choose the topic “Special Call ECER 2021” when you make your submission. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nECER 2021 – Online Conference\n\n\n\nFollowing an extensive series of conversations within EERA and with our conference partners in Geneva\, it has been decided to hold ECER 2021 as an online conference. While our preference would have been for an in-person ECER in the beautiful city of Geneva\, the uncertainty that still exists around the COVID-19 pandemic meant that this is just not possible. \nHowever\, we will be hosting an ECER in 2021 in the first week of September and we are looking forward to the opportunties offered by our move to an online environment. Together with our colleagues in the University of Geneva and in conjunction with KUONI – our technical partners – we are exploring a wide range of exciting and innovative presentation formats that will allow us to retain much of the spirit of ECERs past in this novel situation that we all now face. \nJoe O’Hara\,\nPresident of EERA \n6 November 2020

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: Advance HE Teaching and Learning Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:Teaching in the Spotlight: What is the Future for HE Curricula?\n\n\n\nDate: 6-8 July 2021 Venue: Virtual Who: All higher education professionals Book now \n\n\n\n  \nAdvance HE’s Teaching and Learning Conference 2021 will continue to position the spotlight firmly on teaching in a global context. With particular reference to this year\, the conference will explore where we go from here in terms of teaching and learning in HE\, and how will we deliver the curricula of the future. \n\n\n\nTeaching in higher education has never been under such scrutiny as during 2020 and this continues into the new academic year. Ongoing debates around teaching excellence\, fees\, value\, the student experience\, inclusion\, equality impact and more have been further scrutinised and added to by the global pandemic. \n\n\n\nSome of the consequences have been: \n\n\n\n\nA rapid move to fully virtual teaching in March 2020\, meaning as a result everyone having a view on the ‘new’ student experience\nthe value now for students compared to the ‘traditional’ HE model\nthe impact on physical elements of courses such as field work or laboratory sessions\nthe rapid change in assessment methods and engagement strategies\nhow the curriculum supports equality\, inclusion and diversity in a virtual world.\n\n\n\n\nSo what is the future for HE curricula? Has the urgency for digital learning caused a seismic shift in HE delivery that will change the future of the sector? Have inequalities in higher education been narrowed or have new ones emerged? Do we have a workforce with the skills required to deliver this new model of HE? Do the curricula we have deliver the skills and knowledge graduates need for the post-pandemic world? And where do we go from here as we move through the 2020-21 academic year and into 2021-22 and beyond? \n\n\n\nThe focus on enhancing all aspects of teaching and learning remains a critical issue for those seeking to provide an outstanding student experience at all levels of taught provision. Curricula are at the heart of excellent teaching and all aspects of this have changed as never before during 2020. \n\n\n\nJoin the conversation at #TLConf21 \nCall for papers\nThe call for papers for Teaching and Learning Conference 2021: Teaching in the Spotlight: What is the Future for HE Curricula? is now open until 22 January 2021. \nProposals are sought against any of the seven thematic areas above\, across all disciplines. They can be discipline focused\, interdisciplinary or multi-disciplinary in nature.  \nProposals are welcomed from individuals or teams from across a single institution\, or involving multiple institutions\, employers and other partners\, and especially from individuals of underrepresented groups. Proposals are also welcomed from students\, student unions or other student bodies. Creative collaborations between academic teams and professional service teams. The conference aims to showcase a wide and diverse range of work\, activities and creative practice. Individuals may submit against more than one session type\, but should select the most relevant thematic area.  \nSubmissions can be for any of the following session formats: \n\nLive interactive breakout session (60 minutes)\nOn-demand oral presentation (20 minutes)\nLive workshop session (60 minutes)\nVirtual poster presentation\nPre-recorded Ignite session\, plus live Q&A (5 minutes)\nLive/pre-recorded Soapbox session (5 minutes)

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) Online
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Biennial EARLI Conference will be hosted by the EARLI Executive Committee and will be fully online.  We encourage participants to present results and ideas on state-of-the-art research in learning and instruction\, specifically around the topic “Education and Citizenship: Learning and Instruction and the Shaping of Futures “. \n“Education and Citizenship: Learning and Instruction and the Shaping of Futures” \nDemocratic societies build on ideas of active citizens who participate in and contribute to social\, cultural and economic development. The UN Agenda 2030 specifies the goals involved in building sustainable and just societies able to successfully address the challenges we face in Anthropocene. Learning and instruction in its various settings play an increasingly important role in promoting the values\, skills and knowledge that will allow us to foster active citizens who are able to contribute to sustainable and peaceful co-existence. EARLI can help to advance our understanding of the role and impact of education by addressing the processes and outcomes of learning in broad and innovative ways. This includes attending to features such as the role of learning and instruction for the promotion of agency\, the development of collaborative skills\, the deepening of a sense of belonging in society and\, not least\, for the commitment to future learning among all citizens. \n\nThe joy and excitement of learning and of knowledge sharing and creation\, represent significant components of learning\, and they should be considered as important outcomes of learning along with our traditional competence measures. In this respect\, they need far more attention from researchers. The pandemic spreading during 2020 reminded us of the fact that the future is increasingly difficult to predict but it seems safe to say that learning and re-learning will continue a top prioirity regardless of the future. The EARLI community accepts the responsibility to show how learning and instruction are consequential for the intellectual\, social and cultural fabric of societies striving to shape their future on the road to sustainability.

SUMMARY:Call for Chapters: Digital Transformation and Disruption of Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:This is an opportunity for those who have been involved in technological education particularly to contribute to a very relevant book project. \n\nDear Centre for Higher Education Research\, \nMy name is Andreas Kaplan\, Rector of ESCP Business School in Berlin\, and I am currently editing a book on the “Digital Transformation and Disruption of Higher Education” (to be published by Cambridge University Press). \nThe call for book chapters (see attachment) might be of interest to your members/ followers? So I was wondering if you were willing to diffuse the Call for Chapters among them? \n\nFor some time now\, (higher) education has been subject to a series of fundamental challenges\, such as an increase in competition world-wide\, a decrease in financial resources and (public) funding\, as well as a more general questioning of its broader societal role and overall mission (Pucciarelli and Kaplan 2019; Kaplan 2014). In addition\, higher education’s digital transformation is currently underway; some even speak of its digital disruption. Considering the acceleration of the sector’s digitalization due to the recent Covid-19 health crisis\, this edited book intends to shed light on the digital transformation and potential disruption of higher education. \nIn 2012\, the New York Times proclaimed the year of the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course; Kaplan 2017)\, explaining that online courses delivered on platforms such as Coursera\, edX\, and Udacity would disrupt the higher education sector (Kaplan and Haenlein 2016). So far\, this has not been the case. Already back then\, universities worldwide pointed to the fact that education requires far more than learning theoretical content\, and referred to other activities like networking\, certification\, career service\, and social events. Indeed\, a decade ago\, very few presumed that MOOCs could replace these aspects of higher education – but nobody said that they are not replaceable by other means\, either. In particular\, EdTech (educational technology) start-ups increasingly entered the landscape of higher education\, augmenting and even replacing universities and schools in certain of the aforementioned areas. \nDue to this digitalization\, new teaching formats have arisen. Adaptive learning powered by artificial intelligence (AI) serves as one example. Program curricula and course content are influenced by society’s digital transformation and in consequence they may evolve toward the acquisition of competencies and skills (Kaplan 2018) as opposed to the learning of pure knowledge. The Internet has developed several ways to nurse one’s network outside of the university with\, e.g.\, LinkedIn often said to have become any alumni association’s biggest competitor. EdTech companies are increasingly replacing universities in their role as career centres and first point-of-contact to potential employers\, even challenging them in their role as sole provider of official degrees and certification bodies (Kaplan 2020). These are just some examples of how digitalization may transform\, or even possibly disrupt\, the higher education landscape. \nThis book’s intention is to bring together the analyses and insights of researchers and scientists worldwide\, but practitioners are also more than welcomed as chapter authors. All types of contributions are considered\, ranging from real-life case studies to best practices\, conceptual papers\, empirical studies\, literature reviews\, and the like. This book aims to analyse higher education’s digital transformation from a holistic point of view and provide a balanced and critical account of the sector’s digitalization\, emerging educational technology\, its impact\, opportunities as well as challenges\, and to showcase a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints. \nContributor guidelines:\nIf you are interested in contributing a book chapter\, please send a two-pager with a proposal for your intended chapter to kaplan@escp.eu by October 31st\, 2020. Each proposal will be reviewed along the following criteria: (1) Expected contribution\, (2) clarity and feasibility\, and (3) fit with the tentative chapter outline and further proposals submitted. You can expect a decision on whether you will be invited to submit a full chapter at the latest by November 15th\, 2020.\nIn your chapter proposal\, you should clearly state (1) the type of chapter you would like to write (e.g.\, case study; conceptual piece; empirical study; literature review; etc.)\, (2) where in the tentative chapter outline (see above) your work would fit best (e.g.\, changes in teaching content)\, and (3) what your contribution will be with respect to the edition’s intent.\nIf your proposal is accepted\, your full chapter will be expected by February 28th\, 2021. Chapters should be approximately 25-35 manuscript pages (all inclusive) and conform to APA style. All chapters will go through a review process upon final decision.\nIntended readership includes the field’s research community\, the leadership teams of universities and higher education institutions worldwide\, investors and EdTech (educational technology) actors\, teaching professionals and employees within the sector\, but also the broader public interested in (higher) education’s future. \nAndreas Kaplan – Digital Transformation and Disruption of Higher Education – Cambridge University Press

SUMMARY:Co-Production of Curricula in HE
DESCRIPTION:The involvement of students in curriculum design for Higher and Further Education presents exciting opportunities; but we also want to explore the limits of this approach. \nWhat are the pay-offs\, what are the barriers\, and what are the implications for both students and staff? The campfire will discuss these and other relevant issues using\, of course\, a coproduction approach! \nStudents and Staff: designing curricula together? \nThe Young Academy of Scotland is hosting a workshop at 1pm on Thursday 24th September in the ‘Discovery Tent’ at the Creative Bravery Festival (https://creativebraveryfestival.com/). We will be digging down into one of the topics raised by our joint RSE/YAS discussions on the future of Tertiary Education: the opportunities and challenges of involving students in the design of classes/modules/curricula. It will be an interactive workshop\, offering participants the chance to try out some co-design in real time as we explore the possibilities and barriers. You can register by searching for our event in the Discovery Tent here (https://creativebraveryfestival.com/event-type/discovery-tent/ – click on 24th Sept and scroll through the arrows until you find us). We look forward to debating with you and learning together!

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: European Conference on Educational Research (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE:\nhttps://eera-ecer.de/news/cancelation-of-ecer-2020/\n\n\nConference Theme: Educational Research (Re)connecting Communities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMain Content \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ECER 2020 in Glasgow intends to interrogate the capacity of educational research to address the complexity of the challenges that are encountered in connecting and reconnecting communities in contemporary Europe. \nThe concept of community is a complex one open to many different\, and often contradictory\, interpretations and operationalisations. As citizens and researchers we are members of a diverse range of often overlapping communities at local\, national\, international\, disciplinary and institutional levels. How we choose to conceptualise community and how this interacts with the views and values of researchers and practitioners is at the heart of many strands of educational research.  The diverse web of relationships and meanings that link education and community is reflected in valuable and socially relevant educational research that has generative potential to address the challenges of (re)connecting communities. \nIn this context\, it can be argued that education and educational research have the potential to help make sense of what is happening in Europe and the communities of Europe. They might also provide resources to think in a different way\, and possibly\, generate resources to imagine solutions to fractures in communities. These fractures include: fragmentation\, anti-intellectualism and mistrust of establishments\, institutions and politicians. The threat of fragmentation can be perceived in the debates about nationalism in Europe and Brexit in the UK. These debates have relied on simplistic binary positions that have arguably led to unwelcome divisions and are closing down communities. There is a rise in anti-intellectualism in public life and a deep-rooted mistrust of establishments\, institutions and of politicians in many communities. Education and educational research challenge these narratives and offer alternatives that contribute to the building of a ‘social Europe’ that prioritises the needs of citizens\, acknowledges importance of emerging reconceptualisations of the nature of citizenship and identity driven by increasing diversity\, the emergence of digital technologies\, the fragmentation of traditional social structures and the recognition of centrality of educational communities to the rebuilding of a shared social space. \nECER 2020 suggests that the role of educational research is to establish the position or place of education in the recurrent debates and tensions between the local and global dimensions of life and help to connect and reconnect communities. Participants are invited to interrogate this contention\, in order to examine the potential of educational research to (re)connect communities across Europe and beyond. \n\n\nECER Venue University of Glasgow\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nECER 2020 will take place on the beautiful Gilmorehill Campus of the University of Glasgow. \nFounded in 1451\, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. Today our University is ranked in the top 1% of the world’s universities\, welcoming over 25\,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from 140 countries worldwide. \nWidely recognised as one of the most stunning campuses in the UK\, Gilmorehill in the vibrant West End of the city\, boasts one of Glasgow’s most famous landmarks\, the University tower which sits at the heart of our campus along with the iconic Cloisters and quadrangles.

SUMMARY:'Reconnecting EERA' 23 - 28 August Online
DESCRIPTION:EERA President Joe O’Hara on ‘Reconnecting EERA’\nWhy the title ‘Reconnecting EERA’?\nAs part of its ongoing commitment to providing opportunities for educational researchers throughout Europe and beyond to share their work\, ideas and experiences\, EERA is organising a week of online events in August 2020. The title chosen for this series of events is ‘Reconnecting EERA” and it is one that seeks to connect to the theme of the sadly canceled ECER 2020 in Glasgow. It also recognises the need for a focal point for the different constituencies that make up EERA – Networks\, National Associations\, EERJ etc which will allow them to maintain the conversation that is at the heart of the work of the Association. \nWhat will be happening during the week?\nAt the centre of the ‘Reconnecting EERA’ week will be a series of recorded presentations by the ECER 2020 keynote speakers. These will be streamed throughout the week and on Friday a live Keynote Panel discussion hosted by the EERA President and including all participating keynotes will be held. In addition to these presentations and conversations\, EERA networks will host a series of seminars and other online fora throughout the week. EERA hopes that these events will provide a platform for educational researchers to engage with new ideas\, connect with EERA and its networks and ultimately to continue the process of engaging in research for the benefit of society. \nAll are welcome\, and all events are free of charge. \nSee details here: https://eera-ecer.de/ecer-2020-glasgow/reconnecting-eera-23-28-august-online/

SUMMARY:POSTPONED TO 2021: Enhancing Student Learning Through Innovative Scholarship (Keele)
DESCRIPTION:To raise the profile of teaching only academics in the research intensive climate\, it is vital to shine a spotlight on the innovative learning and teaching they undertake. The best way to achieve this is through the promotion of the innovative scholarship of learning and teaching being driven by this subset of the academic community. This fifth meeting of a national network for staff with a strong commitment to developing teaching and scholarship excellence is therefore a forum to share innovative scholarship across disciplinary boundaries and to develop a national voice for teaching focussed academics.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED TO 2021: Higher Education Close Up 10 (Lancaster)
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Dear HECU10 Conference Participants \nIt is with a heavy heart that we have to bow to the inevitable and postpone HECU10 for a year. \nThe new proposed dates will be the 5-7th July 2021.We have agreed these dates with our four keynotes and the hotel. \nSee http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/hecu10/coronavirus-covid-19-update/ \n  \n \n  \nLancaster University\, UK.\n 6th – 8th July 2020\nKey Dates\nSubmission of proposals: 1st March\, 2020\nNotification of outcomes: 23rd March\, 2020\nEarly Bird Registration deadline: 31st March\, 2020\nRegistration Deadline: 25th June\, 2020 \nAbout the Conference\nHigher Education Close-Up is a peer reviewed biennial international conference\, focused on issues relating to in-depth research into higher education. HECU10 takes place at Lancaster University on 6th – 8th July\, 2020 and follows on from the very successful HECU9 in Cape Town\, South Africa in November 2018. Higher Education Close Up is a virtual network of the Society For Research into Higher Education. The conference venue will be the luxurious Lancaster House Hotel\, with accommodation for delegates in the hotel’s ensuite rooms. \nThe conference runs from lunchtime on the first day to lunchtime on the third day to enable colleagues to travel to and from Lancaster. \nConference Theme\nThe theme for HECU10 is ‘Critical approaches to close-up higher education research’. \nThe theme is intended to open discussion around multiple understandings of criticality in close-up higher education research.  This includes\, but is not limited to\, the use of critical theory and/or critical pedagogy as a lens through which to engage with research into higher education. Equally it refers to taking a critical stance in terms of a questioning approach to the research processes themselves and towards the broader social framework in which higher education is situated.  The theme raises questions about how we conduct such close-up research in a time in which higher education itself\, and the practices and values of the academy\, are subject to critique and challenge.  How do we demonstrate critical reflexivity as close-up researchers in a time of ‘fake news’ and challenges to the role of expert knowledge? In what ways is a commitment to critical approaches a necessary feature of the fine-grained\, nuanced research that defines the ‘close-up’ approach\, in contrast to other forms of research?  Finally\, we should consider the relationship between close-up research and more macro perspectives:  understood through the lens of criticality what are the tensions between them and in what ways may they be complementary (this thread also encompasses the notion of interdisciplinarity and what it means to adopt a critical interdisciplinary approach).Each of the keynote speakers has provided a think piece\, which raises questions about different aspects of this theme.  We ask that conference participants submit proposals for papers that in some way respond to these questions that that an interactive conversation can develop before\, during and\, we hope\, after the conference. \nThe Call for Proposals outlines this process in more detail \nDiscussion List\nThe Higher Education Close Up discussion list is at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/HIGHER-EDUCATION-CLOSE-UP.html. Please join this list for conference announcements and to participate in ongoing discussions of in-depth higher education research. \nPublications from the conference\nAs with previous conferences\, we aim to put together a Special Issue of a journal based on selected papers from the conference. The papers will be selected on the basis of: a) academic quality and b) their contribution to making a coherent collection\, taken together.
