Educational Spaces of Alterity is a one-day event designed to consider educational spaces (both inside and outside the academy) that may help challenge the dominance of neoliberal logics, alienated practices and Eurocentric hegemony in contemporary educational practice, and in so doing contribute to radical social change. We also hope to examine resonances between critical education and contemporary practices in the arts.
We hope to welcome contributions from a variety of disciplines and from inside and outside the academy. These can be in any format, but we especially encourage those that break from traditional conference paper models: workshops, artistic engagements, poster presentations and performances would all be welcomed. We welcome suggestions for entire workshop sessions (90 minutes), or single contributions, which we will group into workshops.
Our event partners Spaces of Alterity: a conference hosted by the University of Nottingham’s Department of Culture, Film and Media on Wed 27th-Thurs 28thApril, with keynote addresses by China Miéville and Alberto Toscano. Both events are designed to work on their own, but participants are more than welcome to attend both should they wish, and we will be co-curating anAnnexinema film night with Spaces of Alterity (details tbc) to show short films which touch upon the themes of the two events.
A non-exhaustive list of themes you may wish to consider is offered over the page. Please do not feel these are mutually exclusive.
