NERA 2024

Beskrivelse

Adventures of Education: Desires, Encounters and Differences
This call is an invitation to the NERA research community to explore the vibrant, diverse, and unexpected adventures that education offers students, teachers, and teacher educators as well as researchers. The notion of adventures and imagination may be generative in times of global crisis and despair. This call urges us not to forget that thinking beyond the already known brings hope to individuals, communities, and societies.

The conference theme, Adventures of Education: Desires, Encounters and Differences speaks to evolving ideas that seek to challenge prescribed ways of learning and homogenised educational practices. Today’s public educational debate, and challenging global relations, ask us to improve our ways of channelling research discussions into productive dialogue. We encourage educational researchers to reach beyond quick and easy solutions to educational challenges. We invite the NERA community to come together in Malmö and open up conversations to enhance fruitful and complex analyses, which can hopefully continue beyond NERA24.

The adventures of education are propelled by desires that affirm relational encounters and states of wonder about learning. These adventures range from strives for knowledge to imaginative and creative thinking. Within education lies a tension between the known and the not-yet-known, the habits and frameworks for learning. The intensity of encounters forces thinking, teaching and living further. Desire can be an affirmative, creative and producing force that has the potential to open up gateways for encounters with the not-(yet)-known. Desires may also have the capacity to control and regulate. Desire encompasses difference and sameness, hope and despair.
