Gender and Education Biennial Interim Conference

Gender and Education Biennial Interim Conference
9th to 11th December 2014
Melbourne, Australia

The Gender and Education Association (GEA), in association with the University of Melbourne, Monash University and RMIT University, invite you to the 2014 Gender and Education Association Biennial Interim Conference, 'Gender and Education in the Asia Pacific: Possibilities and Provocations'.

The conference theme highlights the significance of place in the politics and production of knowledge. It is prompted by, but not restricted to, debates about knowledge hierarchies and relations between the 'global north' and 'global south'. The conference seeks to canvass the diversity of current challenges and emerging possibilities in the field of gender and education, and the various forms these take in local and specific contexts and transnationally. An overall concern of the conference is to promote critical dialogue on the role of context, place and history in shaping scholarship, practices and policies on gender, feminism and education.

In addition to keynote addresses, there will be invited highlight panels and roundtables, as well as early career and doctoral pre-conference workshops.

Submissions of abstracts due 31st July 2014
