Challenging the
orthodoxies: alternative approaches for research into Higher Education
3rd Annual Conference 6
December 2007
Mary Ward House,
Following on the success of the
first two conferences, this year’s focus will be on data.
We wish to explore the concept of
data – what it is, what it might be and what counts as data when we are
researching into higher education.
Whether you collect empirical data,
use narrative research or simply believe that ‘The real
world is a fuzzy place’ we invite you to submit an abstract and join us
to discuss this important issue.
‘Challenging the orthodoxies’ is a
conference with a difference, based around very brief presentations
highlighting the main points of previously circulated papers, and aiming to
give participants more time for conversations and less time simply listening.
Participants in previous conferences have been very positive about the
experience.
If this year’s conference is as successful as
the first two, it will provide us with enough material to consider an edited
book.
Abstracts should be no more than 500 words and should
be sent to [log in to unmask] by 11 August
2007. All abstracts should be saved as ‘surname.doc’.
Final papers for discussion at the conference will be
required by 2 November for uploading onto the conference website.
Papers from last year’s conference can be
accessed at: http://www.mdx.ac.uk/aboutus/fpr/clqe/events.asp
