Apologies for cross posting but I thought LDHEN members might be
particularly interested in this CfP for a special issue of Teaching in
Higher Education. Deadline for articles is 31st August 2008 (just right
for anyone who wants to give a paper at the LDHEN symposium in April and
then write it up for publication - though of course the new ALDinHE
online journal may be the best outlet for these!)

CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE on "Purposes, knowledge and identities"
There is a growing international consensus about the purposes of higher
education which has not been sufficiently challenged and debated in the
public domain. Fundamental shifts are taking place in what counts as
knowledge, how and where it is created and accessed, and what purposes
it serves. This has implications for what needs to be known, and ways of
knowing and learning, which affect what it means to be a teacher and a
learner in higher education.
We welcome contributions which explore knowledge, identities and
teaching in relation to the purposes of higher education.
Questions might include:
- What kinds of knowledge are brought into play in teaching?
- What do we need to know in order to understand teaching?
- In what ways are teaching and the conditions of teaching being
critically re-imagined and transformed?
- What sorts of identities are brought into play in teaching and what
alternative identities are possible?
- How are teachers' roles and sense of self changing?
- What might be the broader purposes of higher education?
- How do the purposes of higher education relate to wider processes of
social change, the needs of employers, social inclusion and economic
competitiveness?
- Are these relationships changing and should they be challenged?
We encourage contributions from a wide range of perspectives and
different ways of giving voice to the lived realities of teaching in
higher education including critically reflective accounts of practice
and what it is to be a teacher. Contributions might explore:
- What a teacher needs to know
- The perception that forms of knowledge are less stable both within
and without the university
- The relationships between disciplinary and personal, public, and
professional knowledge
- The social, economic and political contexts of teaching
- Whether teaching expertise and scholarship are being reframed
- Changing relationships between universities and other providers of
higher education and their communities and contexts
