RESEARCHING HISTORIES OF EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL SPACES, DISCOURSES AND SOURCES
Histories of Education Summer School Conference for European Postgraduate Students

University of Birmingham, UK, 9-12 June 2011

Call for Applications

This conference is for postgraduate history of education researchers registered at European universities and post-doctoral historians of education who are interested in the histories of European educational spaces and discourses and new ways of working with images, artefacts and archives. Leading international historians of education will offer advice about the research process, including publication, and there will be opportunities for students to discuss their research topics and to network. This conference follows on from the very successful summer school held in Ghent, Belgium, in 2010. It is again supported by the European Educational Research Association, the Paedagogica Historica Foundation and the International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE). Additional support this year is offered by the journal Educational Review. The event is organised by EERA Network 17 ‘Histories of Education’ and the Universities of Birmingham, Cambridge, Leuven and Oxford. The conference is free. Students will only have to cover the cost of their travel to Birmingham.

Places are limited to 25 students and application forms can be obtained from the EERA office at summerschool-birmingham@eera.eu. Closing date for applications is 31 December 2010 and successful applicants will be notified in February 2011.
