2009 CONFERENCE INFO


Entering the Age of an Educational Renaissance:  Ideas for unity of purpose or further discord?
24 - 27 November 2009
University of New England, Armidale

The theme for ANZCIES 2009 is Entering the Age of an Educational Renaissance:  Ideas for unity of purpose or further discord?  It is designed in response to the ever-increasing needs to advance our understanding of educational planning, behaviour, and development.

Is education perceived as a tool for peace?  Can we use education to expand our imagination to explore new ways of thinking for collective action?  What can we do to view education as a whole---from early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary to lifelong learning?  How can the world foster greater co-operation to offset fear of collapse, apathy, and complacency?  Indeed, the world has changed, so how should education change with it?  These and other related questions will be raised at the conference.

The aim of the conference is to present a series of papers that rigourously analyse discrete practical problems that help guide comparative and international research, uncover dilemmas, fallacies, myths, and/or to seek viable solutions to global and local concerns.

ANZCIES Winter Symposium a Success!

Dr Natt Pimpa and Di Cullen organised our very first mid-year symposium at RMIT, School of Management on 11 June 2009. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation for their involvement in developing the programme and recruiting new post-graduate students in particular. A special thanks goes to Professor Brian Corbitt who was our keynote speaker and for RMIT in hosting the well-attended symposium.

 

Congratulations to Professor John Keeves who has been awarded the ANZCIES Distinguished Professional Achievement Award 2008.

 

It is with deep regret to hear of the unexpected passing of Professor Neville Postlethwaite in April this year. A few ANZCIES members have worked directly with Neville in the past and are in the process of writing a special tribute to him for his close friends and colleagues.
