History of Education Summer School 2014

In collaboration with Paedagogica Historica, EERA, and the History of Education Society (UK), ISCHE is pleased to be a co-sponsor of the 5th Annual Histories of Education Summer School Conference for Postgraduate Students which will take place in Umeå University, Sweden, 12-15 June 2014.  This conference invites applications from postgraduate students in the history of education with an interest in the histories of educational spaces and discourses and new ways of working with images, artefacts and archives. Leading international historians of education will give lectures and offer advice concerning the research process, including publication strategies.

There will be opportunities for students to discuss their dissertation projects with fellow doctoral candidates and receive comments from prominent scholars in the field.  Local organizers include Daniel Lindmark, Lars Elenius, Anna Larsson, Björn Norlin, and Henrik Åström Elmersjö.  Additional faculty participants at the conference in Umeå will include Ian Grosvenor, Catherine Burke, Frank Simon, Angelo van Gorp, and Kate Rousmaniere.

The conference language is English. Participation in the conference is free of charge. Accommodation and meals will be provided, but delegates will have to cover the cost for their travel to Umeå. The number of participants is limited to 30 students.  Application forms can be retrieved from the EERA website: http://www.eera-ecer.de/season-schools/histories-of-education-summer-school-2014/.
