There is a call for proposals for an online conference with opportunities for publication. Teaching beyond the curriculum will be held 15-17 November 2023 and abstracts are due 5 October 2023. The organisers are Glasgow School of Art, United Kingdom; the University of Louisiana, United States; and Wenzhou-Kean University, China.
"The number of ways we have thought about education over time is vast. From Socrates to John Dewey, and Jean Piaget to Paulo Freire, our understanding of learning has evolved and morphed. The concepts and theories we manage range from learning for learning’s sake to vocational training; from a liberal arts education to on-the-job training; and from student centered learning to research informed teaching. ...
"In considering the education sector as now operating ‘beyond the curriculum’, this conference examines how our teaching has morphed in recent years. Its premise is that we always have, and increasingly need to do more than ‘simply teach’.
"In teaching students to be ‘information literate’, we provide them with skills for life. In encouraging critical thinking, we help navigate a changed tomorrow. In focusing on transferable skills, we prepare them for complex futures. Through community engagement, we open students to socially conscious models of work. In the new tech-classroom, we do this by combining contemporary tools with established bodies of knowledge."
