FW: RGS-IBS 2017 Constructing the higher education student: understanding spatial variations

 

 

Royal Geographical Society – Institute of British Geographers Annual Conference 2017

London, 29^th August-1^st September

 

Call for Papers: Constructing the higher education student: understanding spatial variations

Sponsored by the Geographies of Children, Youth and Families Research Group

 

Rachel Brooks (University of Surrey) and Johanna Waters (University of Oxford)

 

Please send abstracts to Rachel by noon on 13th February for consideration for this session: r.brooks@surrey.ac.uk

 

Many scholars have argued that, in contemporary society, higher education policy and practice have both been profoundly changed by globalising pressures. Indeed, some have contended that the state’s capacity to control education has been significantly limited by the growth of both international organisations and transnational companies (Ball, 2007) and that the three traditional models of university education in Europe (Humboldtian, Napoleonic and Anglo-Saxon) have been replaced by a single Anglo-American model, characterised by, inter alia, competition, marketisation, decentralisation and a focus on entrepreneurial activity. Nevertheless, this analysis is not universally held. For example, not all European nations have sought to establish elite universities or maximise revenue through attracting international students, and significant differences remain in the way in which higher education is funded. In explaining such variations, scholars have pointed to differences in political dynamics, politico-administrative structures and intellectual traditions, as well as the flexibility and mutability of neo-liberal ideas themselves. However, research to date has focussed primarily on the extent of convergence (or divergence) with respect to top-level policies; as a result, little work has explored the perspectives of social actors, nor the ways in which policy may be ‘enacted’ locally, in ways that diverge from formal policy documents.

 

In this session we intend to bring together papers that explore the ways in which ‘the higher education student’ is constructed across different spatial contexts. We are keen to include papers that draw on data derived from students themselves, as well as from other social actors (such as the media, policymakers and higher education staff). We anticipate that they will speak to debates about what it means to be a young person within the contemporary university, as well as to those that relate more specifically to the geographies of higher education.

FW: Conference event in Sheffield

 

The SpLD Society at the University of Sheffield would like to invite you to their first ever debate/conference on SpLDs. David Blunkett will be opening the event.

The conference will take the form of a debate, very similar to that of Question Time, with some controversial figures on the panel (for example, Professor Julian Elliot who wrote 'The Dyslexia Debate' and Professor Dennis Hayes).
Other panel members include Professor Rod Nicholson, Cathereine Wright (Dyslexia Action), author Margaret Rooke ('Creative, Successful, Dyslexic'), MP Emma Lewell-Buck and Peter Walsh (UK Social Policy PhD).

It's probably going to be a pretty lively event with all the changes that are going on with policy, funding and some of the debates about dyslexia at the moment. As such, there is an opportunity for all delegates to submit a question when booking onto the event. In the weeks leading up the event, questions will be selected and presented to the panel, so you may get an opportunity to get your question asked.

It's on February 9th, 6:30-9:30pm, and only costs £8 (£6 students).
Please feel free to pass this link onto any other interested parties. It's going to be quite a big event (nearly 400 places) and is likely to be covered by the press.
Here's the link for more details:
