Hi,
Please can you add a reminder about the iJADE Conference.
I have included the information below:
iJADE Conference 2011
The Centrality of Art, Design and the Performing Arts to Education
6–7 October 2011
Keynote address:
Room 13, the vibrant international art movement
Many times in the past the case has been made for arts education to be
the essential, central component of the curriculum in the state
provision of education. Celebrated books and treatises have been offered
to support this ideal during the last century, by luminaries such as
Suzanne Langer, Marion Richardson, Robert Witkin, Herbert Read and
Elliot Eisner. These have also been associated with the development of
democratic, child-centred and progressive education policies during the
same period. At the present moment, however, much of the western world
is facing austerity cuts in public services, imposed economic or
market-led polices, individualism, and the dominance of audit or
performance models in education, all occurring within the context of
major changes in the cultural politics of identity in our societies. In
this emerging and complex climate, this conference asks what should now
be the case for art, design and the performing arts in education?
The call for papers for this event has now closed and we have a full
and exciting programme of papers.
However, if you feel that your work would be of particular relevance to
the conference themes it may be possible to include additional papers.
Abstract submission
Abstracts for individual papers (150 words) or symposia (500 words)
should be sent to Emma Godding
