We are pleased to invite you to participate in a one-day conference focusing on the ethics of student engagement. In a context in which students in higher educational institutions (HEIs) are increasing seen as consumers, debates about ethics become increasingly central. This conference aims to make an innovative and timely contribution to discussions about the role, scope and purposes of HEIs and the place of students and staff within them.
The conference will bring together scholars and practitioners from across HEIs to share emerging research, new thoerisations and philosophical thinking around the policies, practices and politics relating to the ethics of student engagement. We invite you to join this lively and important interdisciplinary conversation.
Papers, round table discussions and workshops dealing with any aspect of the ethics of student engagement will be considered.
Offers of papers should be made by sending a title and an abstract of no more than 300 words to Carol Robinson, to be received by Friday 12th April 2013.
If you would like to lead a round table discussion or workshop, please also let us know by Friday 12th April 2013.
The cost of the day is £30 which includes lunch and refreshments.
Registration is open from Monday 14th January 2013. All delegates must be registered by Friday 31st May 2013 - please email Carol Robinson to book a place.
