Conference Announcement and Call for papers.
Subject Knowledges and Professional Practice in the arts and humanities
The Humanities and Arts higher education Network's 6th annual conference
will be held on the 7th October, 2000 at the Open University, Milton Keynes.
http://iet.open.ac.uk/research/herg/han/index.htm
In the context of the technologically-driven 'information revolution' what
we mean by Subject Knowledge is being questioned and re-assessed - for
example, through the QAA's Subject Benchmarking activities and the new ESRC
research programme 'The evolution of knowledge: interaction of research and
practice?'.
The conference will debate the question: is contemporary
Professional Practice - with its emphasis on delivery of learning outcomes
and information, on skills acquisition, etc., across all academic
disciplines - at odds with traditional conceptions of subject knowledges in
the arts and humanities, how and why they are taught and learned?
Presentations in response to this question are sought, with respect to any
of the arts and humanities disciplines. Participatory sessions, in which
conference delegates are directly involved, are particularly welcome.
Deadline for outline proposals: Friday July 14th.
The attendance fee will be £40, with a concessionary rate of £25 for members
of the Humanities and Arts higher education Network (HAN) and full-time
students.
