DISCOURSE, POWER AND RESISTANCE IN EDUCATION CONFERENCE 2011
DPR10: Discourse, Power, Resistance Conference 2011
Theme: CHANGING EDUCATION
University of Plymouth, United Kingdom, 13-15 April 2011Sponsored by the School of Secondary and Further Education Studies
Official DPR Conference Website: http://www.dprconference.com
The DPR conference returns to Plymouth in its tenth year, bringing together learners, teachers, researchers and policy-makers from the international education community to look at the crises in contemporary education, not just at post-compulsory level but across the board from pre-school to post-graduate. The need for change in education has never been more urgent. The conference will bring colleagues from around the world to think radically about education changing, and needing to change.
The conference will be divided into 7 streams:
- What is the point of education?- Anticipative education: policy and practice- Education in a funding crisis- Widening participation: for real- Education across the boundaries of faith: challenging fear and hatred- The future of post-compulsory education: the internet and the role of the university- DPR: open
The DPR conference is a site for the radical critique of discourse, power and resistance within and beyond the discipline of education, looking at concerns which are currently troubling learners, teachers and researchers engaged at all stages from pre-school to postgraduate. The conference looks more widely at the impact on education of powerful interests in and behind the policy-making apparatus as they exert their influence to reshape the goals and ethos of learning, teaching and research. DPR transgresses inter-disciplinary boundaries, attracting scholars from across the humanities and social sciences. A continuing concern of the conference is the contested issue of research methodology and the related issues of the problem of knowledge.
The conference has an international reputation, drawing delegates from a wide range of the developed and developing nations and attracting world-class keynote speakers.
The DPR journal, Power and Education (www.wwwords.co.uk/POWER), was launched in 2009.
