DISCOURSE, POWER & RESISTANCE IN EDUCATION – CONFERENCE 2013

Discourse, Power, Resistance: DPR 13      

DISCOURSES OF INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION
9 – 11 April, 2013 – University of Greenwich, United Kingdom

Power can be a wonderful thing, as Terry Eagleton told the DPR conference in 2008: wonderful and essential for the achievement of our best and most generous purposes. But it can also be abused.

A widespread abuse of power is to organise the social world into groups that are included and others that are excluded, using the discourse of the powerful group, like subtly barbed wire, to distinguish the insiders from the outsiders on the grounds of gender, ethnicity, age, wealth, sexuality, class and other grouping. Communities may then disintegrate. The excluded members may seek to be admitted to the privileged group by learning and adopting its discourse; or they may resist this assimilation and celebrate their difference in defiant counter-cultures of their own.

What is the scope of research, learning and teaching in this contested space? What knowledges and methodologies should be included or excluded, and why? These are the issues the conference will consider.

Exchanging words and papers is a powerful academic practice at the heart of DPR. But the conference is about the discourses of inclusion and exclusion, so images, music, performance, display, story-telling – the variously imaginative ways of sharing our understanding – must have their space. DPR13 will include the contributions of the creative and performing arts so that the conference tells and shows a freshly inclusive vision.

Preparations and plans for DPR13 are already well under way with over 60 abstracts accepted and more coming in daily. The Second Call for Papers is Friday 21 December. This is not a deadline but we strongly encourage delegates planning to offer papers, workshops, posters or exhibition work to send abstracts as soon as possible. Details of 12 projects and seminars already in preparation are posted on the website.

Further proposals are being developed and will be posted soon. For further information or to discuss ideas, please contact Jerome Satterthwaite by email at jnsatterthwaite@gmail.com

Special Educational Needs: Changing Perspectives

TEAN

SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS: CHANGING PERSPECTIVES

Registration has now opened for this event.  Please circulate details of this event to anyone you feel this may be of interest to.

Special Educational Needs: Changing Perspectives

Friday, January 13th 2012

This workshop is presented by TEAN, the Teacher Education Advancement Network. TEAN’s aims for Teacher Education are: to enhance practice, to support and promote innovation and development, to contribute to and help build research capacity; to contribute to policy development and implementation.

Venue: University of Cumbria, Lancaster Campus

 

SEN concerns us all; how do we ensure that all children and young people reach their full potential and make a successful transition to adulthood? What is the level of awareness of student and practising teachers with respect to children and young people with Special Educational Needs? What are your perspectives regarding SEN? The overall aim of this day event is for you to discover tangible outcomes concerning what to do in teacher education to develop student teachers and thereby benefit children and young people. How could things be done differently? TEAN offers the time and space to consider this vital area of education and to benefit from collaboration with colleagues from across the sector. In morning and afternoon workshops you will work together following presentations which will challenge your thinking and suggest innovative practice. You will investigate different layers from teacher educators to students teachers – and by extension, practising teachers – to children and young people and feed back your ideas to delegates on the day and then, through the TEAN website, to the whole sector both at home and abroad.

Keynote speaker

TEAN is delighted to welcome Professor Lani Florian, Professor of Social Inclusion at the University Aberdeen to give the keynote address for the day. She has written extensively on inclusive education and has consulted on special needs education and inclusion internationally. Her research interests include categorisation of children, models of provision for meeting the needs of all learners, and teaching practice in inclusive schools (inclusive pedagogy).

To present ideas on innovative practice in the afternoon session TEAN gives a warm welcome to: Christopher Robertson who lectures and researches in the field of special and inclusive education at the University of Birmingham and was a member of  the reference group for the 2009 Lamb report; and to the successful team from the University of Cumbria who run one of the very few specialised undergraduate courses in SEN/inclusive practice and inclusive pedagogy: Alison Feeney, Anne Gager, Graham Hallett, Verna Kilburn, Kären Mills.

Who is it for?

This event will be appropriate for all Initial Teacher Educators from HEIs or schools, and all those with an interest in teacher education.
