CIES 2011 - 55th annual conference of the Comparative & International Education Society - Education is that which liberates / L'éducation, c'est ce qui libère


Date :  du 01-05-2011 au 05-05-2011

Lieu :  Montréal

Organisation :  Comparative and International Education Society (CIES)
en partenariat avec la faculté d'éducation de l'université McGill

Programme : 
CIES 2011 Montréal has as its theme "Education is that which Liberates" and will highlight education as a vehicle for liberation. In today’s conflict ridden world, education can be a powerful instrument in liberating people not only from ignorance and poverty, but also from superstition, fear, vulnerability, injustice, and social inequality—which remain the roots of tension and discord in our increasingly borderless world.


      This year’s theme thus comprises all aspects of education that lead to student independence and agency. A culture of student engagement and participation is the dominant goal—and all theories, practices, and methods of education that focus on this aim are vital to the theme. Dimensions of pedagogy and practice, teacher education, and innovative methods of student participation designed to produce citizens who are engaged, critical, and productive agents of positive change likewise bear significantly upon the theme.

      Liberation is a process as well as a goal in education. As a process, it has the ability to free students from the confines of education as a passive act by engaging them in active, cultural learning. As a goal, it represents the transformative and moral potential which educational philosophers have identified as necessary to overcome the barriers that prevent us from achieving a just and peaceful world.

      Submission deadline: October 17, 2010.
