What is Higher Education for? Shared and contested ambitions

Dear Colleagues,

 

The Society warmly invites contributions for its Newer Researchers Conference 2012.

 

Call for Abstracts is available to download now at this link:

 

Call for Abstracts 2012

 

This year, echoing the theme of the SRHE Annual Research Conference, we invite you to contribute to the critical discussion “What is Higher Education for?” from the perspective of the Newer Researcher. Furthermore we will ask ourselves: What are HE researchers for? reflecting on the impact of our research and the role and function of HE research within the Academy. Finally, we will explore how we can respond positively to the responsibilities that public funding and intellectual independence bring.

These debates are significant for everyone with a stake in contemporary higher education. They fundamentally inform the research questions newer researchers should be asking and debating given the huge societal and global challenges we face.

Whether returning to the SRHE Conference to present your own work or seeking to engage with the emerging debates with international delegates for the first time, the Newer Researchers conference also provides many opportunities for you to not only network with your peers but more experienced researchers, as well as gaining experience through chairing presentations. This is an excellent event for postgraduate students and newer researchers, providing the opportunity to present research work in a nurturing environment and participate in a number of seminars and discussions.

The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday 15 July 2012

 

This timetable will enable all submitting authors to receive early notification of abstracts accepted and take full advantage of early booking discounts.

 

We look forward once again to receiving your proposals and to another very successful conference at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales, UK and I encourage you to submit your work and register for the conference as soon as possible.

 

You will find all the information you need on making a submission on the Conference website
