The European Educational Research Association (EERA) has issued the Call for
Proposals for the European Conference on Educational Research 2008.
"From Teaching to Learning?"
ECER 2008, 8 - 12 September 2008 Göteborg, Sweden.
Proposals need to be submitted online and list members will find the
submission form: _http://www.conftool.com/ecer2008/_
(https://outlook.leeds.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.conftool.com/ecer2008/)
Submission deadline is 1 February 2008.
The Histories of Education Network (Network 17) particularly welcomes
proposals from members of this discussion list. You can read about the Network via
the annual reports of past conferences at the EERA Website _www.eera.ac.uk_
(http://www.eera.ac.uk/)
For our meeting in Göteborg, we would like to encourage paper proposals or
panel proposals (Symposia) to address the following areas that the Network has
identified as holding research potential:
* The role of teachers in changing the structure of learning in the
past.
* Theories and technologies of filming school: an interdisciplinary
workshop and panel including specialists on the history of photography and film
* The role of individual women and especially women’s networks behind
the men in the history of educational change.
* Children’s rights and the history of school unions and protests.
* The role of visual representation in the history of education.
* Moral frameworks: ‘aestheticising’ images of suffering in the
history of education
* Materialities of schooling: reading the school building as a text.
* Space and Place: aesthetic presentation and the spatial structuring
of knowledge (office, library, museum).
Please note that proposed panels and / or symposia must include papers from
a range of nationals. The Network has a strong record of organising
international panels and sessions (at least 3 nationalities each session, if possible)
and panels focussing on the European dimension of issues.
List members may contact me directly by email for informal discussions about
potential papers or panel proposals or to clarify anything here.
Happy New Year !
