The 2007 Gender and Education Association conference will be jointly hosted by the Centre for Gender and Womenfs Studies, Trinity College Dublin, and the School of Education and Lifelong Learning, University College Dublin. The conference will be held in Trinity College Dublin, 28th, 29th and 30th March 2007.
The theme of the conference is Gender Balance/Gender Bias, encompassing issues of inclusion and equality, which are to the fore in educational policy and practice in recent times. There are, however, persistent instances of bias and exclusion on the basis of gender, as well as interactions with other social variables such as race, class, ethnicity, religion and ability. This conference seeks to explore past, present and future issues of balance and bias in education from a gendered perspective. The conference is open to all those involved in the field of educational enquiry, and papers are welcomed from a range of disciplines
Participants are invited to submit abstracts of no more than 200 words addressing the conference theme, or exploring issues of gender balance/bias in the following conference sub-themes:
Gender balance or bias in the curriculum
Educational policy
Citizenship and Inclusion
Teacher professional development
The feminisation of the teaching profession and its impact on balance or bias in the profession
Papers addressing other themes not mentioned here will also be accepted for consideration. Please contact the organisers for further information.
Abstracts should be emailed by October 20th 2006 to: cgws.conferences@tcd.ie
