In addition to the general call, some networks would like to encourage discussion on specific thematic topics and have therefore issued a special call. However, they will remain open for all other submissions within their area.

Location: University of Belgrade, Serbia

Special Call Network 17 Histories of education

Charting the way forward: Integrating historical perspectives and inquiries into contemporary educational debates

Education is a future-oriented enterprise, implying possibilities, and potentially utopian ideals of what a positive future should look like. Educational theory and practice are thus a bridge between the lived present and desired future. But education is also an enterprise firmly rooted in the past. In this special call we invite reflection on the overall conference theme, ‘charting the way forward’, from perspectives informed by the past. We invite methodologically and theoretically focused contributions which draw on historical evidence and historical/interdisciplinary approaches to interrogate the extent to which education can and should direct and inform our futures.

Submission deadline: 31 January 2025
