The next BAICE Conference will be held at the University of York in September 2018. The call for papers is now live. All the information can be found on the website; the call is also featured below and attached.

The aim of this conference is to consider how central concepts in the field of comparative and international education – such as development, sustainability and global social justice – can be reimagined in order to offer new trajectories for educational research, policy and practice. We want to unpick what we mean by the idea of education for sustainable development and examine the different ways education might play out to meet – or challenge – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This means searching for alternative approaches and rethinking the intersections between the many debates. Through this dialogue we hope to challenge dominant frameworks in order to imagine new possibilities for the future.

We welcome papers that discuss comparative and international education, formal and non-formal learning at primary, secondary and tertiary level or adult education, across all global regions including high, middle and low-income countries. Papers which reflect on innovative or alternative approaches, or transformative initiatives that challenge inequalities or provide solutions to social challenges, are all encouraged. We are calling for papers that will help us to identify possibilities for education, that critique, question and challenge accepted wisdom and provide inspiration to think about the role of education in different ways.

Abstracts due by 1st Feb. I look forward to seeing you in York.

All the best,
