Global Education and Learning, alongside areas such as Global Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable Development, are rapidly growing areas of educational research. Come along to this session, titled New voices in Global Education & Learning, to get a taste of the perspectives of emerging researchers, who will be sharing their own research and presenting provocative ideas regarding Global Education and Learning. Key actors from ANGEL introduce the session, and offer responses to, and analysis of, the presentations.
This event is in addition to the planned face-to-face ANGEL/UNESCO international conference planned for June 19th and 20th in Paris, and is seen as providing a space where early career researchers can meet and discuss their research online in a relatively relaxed and informal environment. Presenters at the session submitted proposals which were assessed by the ANGEL Advisory Board. You can see the Call for Submissions webpage here.
The event is free, but you need to register.
This event, along with the other activities of the ANGEL network, is co-funded by the European Union.*
This event is to be hosted via Zoom, and will feature an opening and closing session in 'plenary', with the 'New Voices' presentations being delivered in 3 parallel sessions.
You can view all the abstracts for the presentations in a PDF document, accessed via the button below.
Global Citizenship has become a feature of education policy developments in many countries in recent years. This strand addresses ways in which the term and field has been part of policies in a specific national context, within broader debates in higher education and also what the term can actually mean in different cultural and institutional contexts.
What does global citizenship education mean in practice? Through a range of perspectives this term is used as the framework to assess research in schools, be it within subjects or whole school approaches or through specific initiatives.
Sustainability and themes such as climate change have become popular themes in educational research and practice in recent years. This theme explores different ways in which the term is interpreted and practised through a range of research papers covering both voices from the Global South as well as the Global North.
At the end of the event, ANGEL members Andreas Rogler (University of Oulu), Dobrawa Aleksiak (University of Warsaw) and Riikka Suhonen (University of Helsinki) will be launching a survey of the membership which will explore possibilities for a sub-network for emerging researchers, and introduce plans for a session at the ANGEL Conference 2023 in Paris.
Registered participants will be emailed a link in the days before the event, and also 30 minutes before as a reminder. Time after the presentations will be given over to questions and discussion. Register via the button above, or click here.
As part of its core mission, the Academic Network of Global Education and Learning pays particular attention to supporting the research of doctoral students and post-doctoral work. This has included both face to face events such as 2022's International Summer School on Researching Global Education and Learning, and online events, such as the conference hosted by the University of Oulu in 2020.
Global Education and Learning is seen as encompassing the following:
This event is part of a series of online events run by the Academic Network for Global Education & Learning.
