Inaugural Stoicon-x Melbourne – 30 October, 9.45am-5pm

The inaugural Stoicon-x Melbourne is part of events around the globe celebrating Stoic Week 2021.

Saturday 30 October , 9.45am to 5pm at the Greek Centre for Contemporary Culture, Level 3, 168 Lonsdale Street in Melbourne’s CBD.

Stoicon-x is designed for people interested in taking their first steps on a journey to a Stoic life or for those who are already living a Stoic life and want to delve deeper into how and why it’s a valid philosophy for life in the unfolding world of covid.

One of the main principles of Stoicism is to focus on what we are able to control ourselves. With this in mind, we are working towards holding an entertaining and educational in-person event on Saturday 30 October, 2021. As covid and lockdowns are not in our control, event details may change and we will endeavour to keep this website as up to date as possible in the lead up to the event.

Stoicon-x keynote speakers include Stoic practitioners and academics

Stoic Week is an annual event that invites everyone to ‘live like a Stoic for a week’. Started in the UK, since 2012 over 20,000 people have signed up to give Stocism a try.  Participants complete a questionnaire before starting and another at the end that enables organisers to assess how much following Stoic life guidance has benefitted participants. To date the results have consistently shown that people who give Stocism a try see a reduction in negative emotions and an increase in life satisfaction. Melbourne’s event will introduce interested Victorians to Stoicism and help them understand how to live like a Stoic, why it is becoming increasingly popular as a way to live and how to apply Stoic principles to the world today.

Dr Shirley Smith – PESA founding member obituary

PESA is sad to announce the death of Dr Shirley Smith at the age of 93 on July 3, 2021.

Shirley was one of the five Members of the Informal Planning Committee (1969-70) that brought PESA into existence.
She was a Foundation Member of PESA and was active at Annual Conferences and in the PESA Sydney Branch 1970-1977.
More broadly, she is fondly remembered for her long-standing leadership in pursuing women’s rights, especially at the University of New South Wales.
Other members of the Informal Planning Committee also reached advanced age: Anna Hogg: 101, Bill Andersen and Les Brown: 99. Clearly PESA has strong bones, and if it can survive as long as its founders, it will be a mighty effort.

Postdigital Humans: Transitions, Transformation and Transcendence – new book

 

Postdigital Humans: Transitions, Transformation and Transcendence, edited by Maggi  Savin-Baden, (Springer, 2021) is the first book in the Postdigital Science and Education book series.  It illustrates that the development and use of postdigital humans is occurring rapidly, but often in unexpected ways and spaces, and explores approaches to developing and using postdigital humans and the impact they are having on a postdigital world. This book presents current research and practices at a time when education is changing rapidly with digital, technological advances. In particular, it outlines the major challenges faced by today’s employers, developers, teachers, researchers, priests and philosophers such as the possibility for using postdigital humans for teaching, training and practice.

The first section of the book begins with an exploration of the ideas and concepts associated with postdigital humans. The second section provides both a practical and philosophical stance toward the use of postdigital humans in education. The final section explores the overlapping constructs of philosophy, ethics and religion. Postdigital Humans: Transitions, Transformation and Transcendence in many ways brings together concerns over agency, the wider complex ecology of techno-capitalist relations, notions of individual self-determination and ways in which humanity needs to come to understand and act in the postdigital world.

CFP – Special issue of ACCESS: Contemporary Issues in Education – Leadership for Justice.

 

Call for papers 

Leadership for Justice

‘Leadership’ studies have focussed around the relationship between the leaders and the led; but what about the wider implications, the consequences for the not-led? How can leadership become more oriented to wider issues of social justice rather than to the efficacy of their leadership within their own institutions? The current world amply rewards those who can lead their followers, be they in corporations, schools or universities, to success in competitive terms. Can leadership success be evaluated in terms more embedded in notions of ethics, aesthetics, and social justice?

You are invited to submit a paper (up to 6,000 words) or commentary (approximately 2,000 words) on these issues. To indicate your interest, please submit a brief abstract of your paper by June 1, 2021 to accesseditorial@pesaagora.com. Full manuscripts will be due by September 1, 2021.

We look forward to receiving your submission.

Land Education, Place, and Climate Justice in Early Childhood – RECE virtual event

Kia ora koutou

Reconceptualizing Early Childhood Education (RECE) invites you to join us for the second event in RECE’s (In)justices and Counteractions in Early Childhood Contexts virtual engagement series.

 

Land Education, Place, and Climate Justice in Early Childhood.    REGISTER NOW
Wed, April 28, 2021
8:00 PM – 9:30 PM Eastern (New York)

Thur, 29 April, 2021
10:00-11:30 AM Australian Eastern Time

Please convert to your local time zone via this link

This event, featuring Diana Gómez, Anna Lees, Jenny Ritchie, Catherine Hamm and Jeanne Marie Iorio, and moderated by Megan Bang, will cover issues and concerns with Land Education, Place, and Climate Justice as they relate to and are impacted by early childhood practices and everyday activisms.

This conversation is a space for minoritised perspectives in political, social, and educational contexts to take root. Central to this discussion is embedding and foregrounding Indigenous, kinship and climate perspectives and relationalities as more than just some alternative, but rather, essential ways to understand the world.

The event includes an audience Q & A as well as a 30-minute informal “salon” conversation session with the audience following the formal program.

You can register for this event on the RECE website

Instead of privileging a single philosophical approach as the basis of comparison, the series provides a platform for diverse philosophical perspectives to accommodate the different dimensions of cross-cultural philosophizing. While introducing thinkers, texts and themes emanating from different world philosophies, each book, in an imaginative and path-breaking way, makes clear how it departs from a conventional treatment of the subject matter.

The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era: Dupery by Design – New Book 2021

MacKenzie, AlisonRose, JenniferBhatt, Ibrar (Eds.) 2021,  Springer,

This edited book collection in the Postdigital Science and Education Book series (Springer) offers strong theoretical and philosophical insight into how digital platforms and their constituent algorithms interact with belief systems to achieve deception, and how related vices such as lies, bullshit, misinformation, disinformation, and ignorance contribute to deception. This inter-disciplinary collection explores how we can better understand and respond to these problematic practices.

The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era: Dupery by Design will be of interest to anyone concerned with deception in a ‘postdigital’ era including fake news, and propaganda online.  The election of populist governments across the world has raised concerns that fake news in online platforms is undermining the legitimacy of the press, the democratic process, and the authority of sources such as science, the social sciences and qualified experts. The global reach of Google, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms has shown that they can be used to create and spread fake and misleading news quickly and without control. These platforms operate and thrive in an increasingly balkanised media eco-system where networks of users will predominantly access and consume information that conforms to their existing worldviews. Conflicting positions, even if relevant and authoritative, are suppressed, or overlooked in everyday digital information consumption. Digital platforms have contributed to the prolific spread of false information, enabled ignorance in online news consumers, and fostered confusion over determining fact from fiction.

The collection explores:

  • Deception, what it is, and how its proliferation is achieved in online platforms.
  • Truth and the appearance of truth, and the role digital technologies play in pretending to represent truth.
  • How we can counter these vices to protect ourselves and our institutions from their potentially baneful effects.

Discursive Habits: Peirce and Cognitive Semiotics – Deakin University webinar

Dates: 2021-03-01 - 2021-03-03

Dr Cathy Legg discusses: Discursive Habits: Peirce and Cognitive Semiotics

International Centre for  Enactivism and Discursive Semiotics, Deakin University, Australia

March 1, 10PM-00AM (CET)

March 2, 8 a.m. Melbourne time.

Enactivism has greatly benefitted contemporary philosophy by demonstrating that the traditional intellectualist ‘act-content’ model of intentionality is simply insufficient, and showing how minds may be built from world-involving bodily habits. Many enactivists have assumed that this must entail non-representationalism concerning at least basic minds. Here I argue that such anti-intellectualism is overly constraining, and not necessary. I sketch an alternative enactivism which draws on Peirce’s pragmatic semiotics, and understands signs as habits whose connections with rich schemas of possible experience render them subject to increasing degrees of self-control. The talk’s key innovation is to align this cyclical process of habit cultivation with Peirce’s representationalist icon-index-symbol distinction, in a manner which I will explain.

Writing for Publication:  Liminal Reflections for Academics New Book 2021

Writing for Publication:  Liminal Reflections for Academics

Georgina Tuari Stewart, Nesta Devine, Leon Benade (Eds.) 2021, Springer

PESA Agora is pleased to announce this new book edited by three PESA members.

This book focuses on academic writing and how academics who are experts in their fields can translate their expertise into publishable form. The magnitude and speed of the changes that are transforming the global academic landscape produce an ongoing need for literature that interprets the nature of academic work. This book arises from the background discipline of Education, which is a relatively new university subject that draws on the entire knowledge spectrum from the fine arts to the natural sciences. Each chapter addresses an aspect of the conditions of written academic labour in an age of digital publishing: its nature, how it works, and guidance for successful navigation. This book will provide helpful guidance to graduate students, researchers and teachers in universities and higher education, who are united by the challenges of this new world of academic publishing.

Dupery by Design: Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era – 2021

Date: 2021-03-16

 

 

Dupery by Design: The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era and the critical role of Higher Education

EVENT: showcases a diverse collection of contributions by authors of the forthcoming edited book, Dupery by Design: Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era (MacKenzie, Rose & Bhatt, 2021, Springer – part of the PDSE book series),  will take part in this online event,  Hosted by: SHRE, UK.

Papers will tackle a number of critical issues in relation to the current crisis of trust and will lend theoretical and philosophical insight into how digital technologies interact with belief systems to achieve deception, and its related epistemic vices: lies, dupery, misinformation, disinformation, and ignorance. The event’s underscoring themes include:

  • How online platforms are designed to exploit particular vices such as close-mindedness, epistemic nihilism, insouciance, etc. and contribute to the power and dissemination of deception;
  • Deception: what is it? Is there anything peculiar about the times in which we live that should raise special concerns about the proliferation of fake news, lies, bullshit and other such vices online?
  • How do our individual and collective epistemologies interact with digital technologies to produce deceit?
  • How can we counter epistemic vices online, and protect ourselves and our institutions from their potentially baneful effects?
  • Can deception ever be justified? Is there anything to be learned from mass propaganda and deceit in other historical periods?

Discussants: Alison MacKenzie, Ibrar Bhatt, Jennifer Rose (Queen’s University Belfast)

PaTHES  Online Club Meets 

Philosophy and Theory in Higher Education Society

     3rd SEASON THEME: Loneliness and  Collegiality

     co-lead by  Tessa DeLaquil  and Carola Boehm

    PaTHES online meets are back for a third season. We are rotating our timezones and facilitators to accommodate our international community, so after seasons facilitated for Europe, then Australasia, we are now turning to the Americas. So put this slot in your diary and feel free to bring your coffee, tea and discussion points.  Everyone is welcome, and as our various regions are still coping with various lockdowns, we are keeping these Online Club Meets still open to the public.

Our first online meet will be Tues 16th Feb and this season will finish in the week  of 23rd March.

Link to the Online Club Meets, at https://pathes.org/onlinemeets/

The time for each the of the 6 sessions of the third season will be:

UTC  City Season 3 (2021)

16th Feb to 23rd Mar

UTC -8 Los Angeles Tuesday 11am
UTC -5 New York Tuesday 2pm
UTC +13 Wellington Tuesday 8am
UTC +0 London Tuesday 7pm
UTC +1 Aarhus Tuesday 8pm
UTC +11 Sydney Tuesday 6am

OUR THEME: For season 3 of the online club meets, the selected theme is “Loneliness and Collegiality.”  In her essay titled “Ideology and Terror,” Hannah Arendt parallels isolation in the political sphere to loneliness in the social sphere, such that isolation occurs when “the political sphere of [our] lives, where [we] act together in the pursuit of a common concern, is destroyed,” while loneliness is “the situation in which I as a person feel myself deserted by all human companionship.” On the other hand, collegiality has been defined in higher education as relationships based on a shared commitment to a common purpose in higher education (Rowland, 2008).

So then, what might be this common purpose? And how might we build relationships in spite of the fractured nature of societal relationships, politically and geographically? What could be the effects on the university and the purpose of the university due to the loneliness experienced by its constituents – by faculty, staff, and students? Come join us in our discussions on this theme this season!

INTRODUCING THIS SEASON’S CO-LEADS:

  • Tessa DeLaquil is a PhD student and research assistant at the Center for International Higher Education (CIHE), Boston College. Her research interests include the philosophy of higher education, considering secularism, pluralism, and political theory as conceptual bases for ethical practice in international higher education and the internationalization of research.
  • Carola Boehm is Professor of Arts and Higher Education at Staffordshire University. Her research focusses on the role that universities play in our creative societies and our creative economy.

World Class Universities – A Contested Concept – New book

World Class Universities – A Contested Concept

Editors: Sharon Rider, Michael A. Peters, Mats Hyvönen, Tina Besley

This open access book (16 chapters) integrates a broad array of conceptual, theoretical and empirical analyses of The World Class University from the humanities and social sciences. It focuses on the dimensions of the discourse of ‘The World Class University’, its alleged characteristics, and its policy expressions. It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of “world-class” and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory.
The growing impact of global rankings and their strategic use in the restructuring of higher education systems to increase global competitiveness has led to a ‘reputation race’ and the emergence of the global discourse of world class universities. The discourse of world class universities has rapid uptake in East Asian countries, with China recently refining its strategy. This book provides insights into this process and its future development

Pandemic Education: A Double Issue of Knowledge Cultures

Pandemic education refers not only to how we educate ourselves and others about the pandemic, but also – and more importantly – to how the pandemic educates us. To put it in the terms of the question that the articles in these two special issues on pandemic education address: how can educators explore and enact a philosophy of education that speaks to the care, critique and collective responsibility demanded by the Covid-19 pandemic?

The two issues of Knowledge Cultures on Pandemic Education (2020) bring together educators from across the globe to respond to the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are available through Proquest Central or Gale Academic Onefile.

COPE Forum – Dec 15 – Predatory publishing: where do we go from here?

Date: 2020-12-15

December Forum  – follows the usual format where we discuss a topic of interest to our members, followed by members’ cases presented for discussion and advice from all those participating in the Forum. This month the discussion topic is ‘Predatory publishing: where do we go from here?’.

The Forum is for COPE members. EPAT is a member of COPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COPE drafted a discussion paper on predatory publishing in 2019, and the dialogue has turned to more practice based solutions.

What are the next steps that COPE, or other industry organisations, might consider as a response to the continued flourishing and growth of predatory journals, conferences, and publishers?

 

Questions for COPE Forum

  • Should COPE use its criteria for membership as an instrument to evaluate standards of scholarly publishing vehicles for the purpose of informing authors, peer reviewers, readers, scholars invited to serve on editorial boards, and universities evaluating scholarly productivity?
  • Should COPE and/or other industry organisations form a global compact of signatories to commit to the practice of research and publication integrity and further to the active marginalisation of predatory publishing within the scholarly communities of universities, editors, and publishers?
  • Should COPE and/or other industry organisations act as a third party retraction service for authors who have unknowingly published with a predatory publisher which will neither withdraw nor retract the articles at the request of the authors?

This will be discussed at the start of the Forum with guest speaker Dr Kelly Cobey who will describe the Authenticator Project, being developed by the Centre for Journalology, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, University of Ottawa, Canada.

Disrupting Hate in Education: Teacher Activists, Democracy, and Global Pedagogies of Disruption – New Book

Edited by Rita Verma & Michael W. Apple

We  are pleased to announce the publication of our book Disrupting Hate in Education.

This book aims to identify and respond to the ideological forms of hate and fear that are present in schools, which echo larger nativist and populist agendas. Contributions to this volume are international in scope, providing powerful examples from US schools and communities, examining anti-extremism work in the UK, the “saffronization” of schools in India, struggles to re-orient the villainization of teachers in Brazil, and more. Written by a dynamic group of activist educators and critical researchers, chapters demonstrate how conservative mobilizations around collective identities gain momentum, and how these mobilizations can be interrupted. Out of these interruptions come new opportunities to practice a critically democratic education that hinges upon risk-taking, deep dialogue, and creating a space for common dignity.

CFP for Vol 1/2021: 

Research perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and education of QTimes – Journal of Education, Technology and SocialStudies is online.

Research perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and Education Recent developments on Artificial Intelligence (AI) allowed to define new systems to collect and process empirical data that involve also educational research by a multi-perspective approach. Currently, the level of digitalization of schools is increasing the amount of big data, that stimulate new AI models based on the analysis of contents and processes in different fields. A first area, for example, relates to the creation of intelligent teaching/learning environments, personalizable and oriented towards inclusive training systems; able to guarantee an overall access to knowledge, to identify significant models and transform them into structured knowledge to improve both the school organization and classroom teaching.

New Directions in the Philosophy of Education – Routledge Book Series

Series Editors: Michael A. Peters, Gert Biesta, Liz Jackson

This book series is devoted to the exploration of new directions in the philosophy of education. After the linguistic turn, the cultural turn, and the historical turn, where might we go? Does the future promise a digital turn with a greater return to connectionism, biology and biopolitics based on new understandings of system theory and knowledge ecologies? Does it foreshadow a genuinely alternative radical global turn based on a new openness and interconnectedness? Does it leave humanism behind or will it reengage with the question of the human in new and unprecedented ways? How should philosophy of education reflect new forces of globalization? How can it become less Anglocentric and develop a greater sensitivity to other traditions, languages, and forms of thinking and writing, including those that are not rooted in the canon of Western philosophy but in other traditions that share the ‘love of wisdom’ that characterizes the wide diversity within Western philosophy itself.

This series comprises texts that explore, identify and articulate new directions in the philosophy of education. It aims to build bridges, both geographically and temporally: bridges across different traditions and practices and bridges towards a different future for philosophy of education.

Seeing the World through Children’s Eyes book launch Dec 3

Mark December 3rd in your diary, because you’re invited to an online celebration of the launch of  Seeing the World through Children’s Eyes – Visual Methodologies and Approaches to Research in the Early Years edited by E. Jayne White,  the first volume in the exciting new book series, Visual Pedagogies, Methodologies, and Educational Research (Brill).

Seeing the World through Children’s Eyes brings an overarching emphasis on ‘seeing’ to early years research. It provides an opportunity to see and hear from leading researchers in the field concerning how they work with visual methodologies and young children. It explores the problems, pitfalls and promises that these offer for reflexive, critical inquiry that privileges the ‘work of the eye’ whilst implicating the researcher ‘I’ for what is revealed. Readers are invited to see for themselves what might be revealed through their discoveries, and to contemplate how these ideas might influence their own seeings.

During the online launch you will be able to learn about how this book series came about; about the contents from some of the sixteen contributing authors; and be able to ask questions. You may even win a free copy!   Find out more, and register, here.

Imagining educational futures: the relevance of Asian cosmopolitanism – Webinar

Date: 2020-11-28
Times: Nov 28 (Sat) 11 AM to 1230PM Singapore/Hong Kong time. Note this will be Nov 28 (Sat) 2PM in Melbourne and Nov 27 (Fri) 10PM in Illinois, USA
Overview: Scholarly interest in cosmopolitanism and its implications for education has intensified since the turn of the century in recognition of the realities of globalization. The concept of cosmopolitanism has been widely used by scholars to address the challenges of globalization, and is commonly translated as ‘citizen of the world’, as originating from Ancient Greek Cynic and Stoic philosophers.  Cosmopolitan ideals have also been located in major philosophical ideas in the East. In this webinar, we bring together prominent scholars to discuss the following:
1.          What are the contributions of Eastern philosophies to the concept of Asian cosmopolitanism and how is this concept of relevance today?
2.          What is the significance of Asian cosmopolitanism and philosophy for education today?
3.          What are the possibilities and challenges for cosmopolitan learning especially in light of the intensification of xenophobia and intolerance arising from the global pandemic?
