Revitalising Universities Symposium, November 2022: Call for Submissions
Submissions due 8th July

This two-day event seeks to bring together academics, educators, and experts from Australia, Japan and other regions to discuss the future of higher education as universities navigate pathways out of the pandemic.

We are pleased to announce that Professor Emerita Raewyn Connell will be joining (virtually) as keynote speaker. Echoing Connell’s original call to rethink the ‘good university’, COVID has thrown into question taken-for-granted notions about the position of universities, forcing a reframing of understandings around their social purpose.

We are seeking papers that explore the different practices and values reflected in pandemic responses and adaptations across the globe, and relatedly, how the pandemic has reshaped the social purpose of higher education.

This is a free hybrid event, however due to COVID restrictions in-person places are limited.

Convened by Naomi Berman (University of Tokyo)

Submissions due: 8th July 2022

See website for abstract submission details.

Journal call - Leading, Facilitating and Convening Educational Social Learning Spaces: Theory and Practice
September 15, 2022

Leading, Facilitating, and Convening Educational Social Learning Spaces: Theory and Practice
Guest Editors: Jacquelin McDonald & Milton Cox
Submissions September 15, 2022

Educators and students are experiencing new perspectives on learning communities, emerging from technological advancements, post-pandemic restructure and relocation of traditional learning contexts, or they may arise from new concepts introduced by Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner (2021, 2020), creating opportunities and challenges around engaging and recreating educational learning spaces. Such spaces include Faculty Learning Communities, Communities of Practice, Twitter groups, and other educational learning spaces. The focus of this special issue of the Journal http://celt.miamioh.edu/ject/index.php is on social learning as a form of engaging with others to make a difference in educational practice. Authors are invited to share the theory that informs their vision of an educational social learning space and the unfolding practice of their learning journeys to create, sustain, evaluate, and revision that space.

CORRECTION: The International Journal for Students as Partners seeks additional editorial board members

We recently sent out a message saying that: The International Journal for Students as Partners (IJSaP) wishes to appoint a new editorial board (EB) co-editing team consisting of a staff/faculty member and a student from a country not currently represented on the EB (ie outside Australia, Canada, China, United Kingdom, United States). We would particularly welcome applications from non-English speaking countries and/or parts of the world in which student-staff partnerships are an emerging development.

Unfortunately, there was an error in the listserv message that contradicted the full details on the IJSaP website https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/ijsap/announcement. The latter is correct. The listserv message mistakenly said: ‘individual applications will be accepted, and if appointed, a second appointment stage will be undertaken to identify a suitable partner.’ This was a hangover from a previous advert for new EB members in 2018. For the current round, we decided not to accept applications from individuals. The correct version on the IJSaP website states: ‘Applications for appointment to the EB should come from a student-staff partnership (one student, one staff). … The application should consist of a letter outlining how you as a student and a member of staff/faculty in combination meet the selection criteria, along with a maximum of a two-sided CV each….’

Apologies for any confusion this error may have caused.

Please address any queries to the Editorial Manager (ijsap@mcmaster.ca).

Application deadline: 12:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST) Friday 15 July 2022.

Please pass these corrected details on to any colleagues outside Australia, Canada, China, United Kingdom, and United States, to whom you forwarded the earlier message.
