> the first paper for the Challenging the Orthodoxies symposium is now
> up on the web, and it's a cracker of a paper to start with.
>
> In it Paul Ashwin and Monica McClean argue for a conceptual bridge
> between pedagogical approaches to research and 'critical pedagogy', in
> which greater account is taken of social, political and economic
> context. This is a divide which has sometimes troubled many of us,
> including me, and I'm glad to see someone taking it on.

> The authors' brave aim is to "connect research findings that claim to
> explain and identify ways of improving learning with the polemic and
> commitment of what can broadly be termed 'critical pedagogy'"

> If you want to know more you can read the paper at

> conference at that web address - there are still places left, and do
