Taos Institute: Dialogic & Collaborative Practices in Challenging Times (2023)

EventsDialogic and Collaborative Practices in Challenging Times, Taos Institute, 16-18 March 2023, 12:00 – 3:00 pm EST (New York time, online).

A 3-day online seminar with Taos Institute Vice-President Sheila McNamee and Taos Institute Board Member Harlene Anderson. In this online seminar (three hours each day), Harlene and Sheila introduce and discuss constructionist theory by engaging participants in meaningful conversations. Given the challenges we confront globally, discussions center specifically on the practical implications of social construction. There is ample space for everyone to share, interact, collaborate and support one another as we explore ways to bring these practices into participants’ own projects and personal or professional contexts.

Whether you are familiar with social construction and relational practice or new to these ideas, this intimate seminar is sure to make you feel welcome and inspired. The small-group, virtual environment offers an opportunity to be in conversation with a diverse group of individuals from around the globe, who are working or want to work in relational ways. Three live group meetings as well as a private group discussion forum gives you a chance to forge deep connections and to practice being relational — resulting in a transformational experience.

Key Concepts in ICD

Continuing translations of Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue, today I am posting KC107: Interculturality, originally written by Mélodine Sommier & Malgorzata Lahti for publication in 2023, and now translated by Mélodine Sommier into French.

As always, all Key Concepts are available as free PDFs; just click on the thumbnail to download. Lists organized chronologically by publication date and number, alphabetically by concept in English, and by languages into which they have been translated, are available, as is a page of acknowledgments with the names of all authors, translators, and reviewers.

https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.files.wordpress.com/2023/02/kc107-interculturality_french.pdf

The Center for Intercultural Dialogue publishes a series of short briefs describing Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue. Different people, working in different countries and disciplines, use different vocabulary to describe their interests, yet these terms overlap. Our goal is to provide some of the assumptions and history attached to each concept for those unfamiliar with it. As there are other concepts you would like to see included, send an email to the series editor, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. If there are concepts you would like to prepare, provide a brief explanation of why you think the concept is central to the study of intercultural dialogue, and why you are the obvious person to write up that concept.

CFP UKFIET 2023: Education for Social & Environmental Justice: Diversity, Sustainability, Responsibility

ConferencesCall for Papers: UKFIET 2023: Education for Social and Environmental Justice: Diversity,
Sustainability, Responsibility, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK, 12-14 September 2023. Deadline: 17 March 2023.

Crises including the COVID-19 pandemic, the unfolding climate emergency and ongoing and resurgent violent conflict have shown that progress towards a sustainable planet is fragile and reversible. Ensuing and ever-increasing inequality and injustice threaten progress towards the goal of equitable quality education and lifelong learning (including social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative aspects) for all by 2030 (SDG4) and require urgent remediation and mitigation. Education and learning among marginalised groups in particular must be prioritised as a shared global responsibility if the tide of widening inequalities and injustices is to be stemmed and in furtherance of global human rights. Moreover, equitable and sustainable progress require much more than ’business as usual’, calling not only for innovation but for transformation. Re-thinking conceptualisations of education and learning and spaces where they take place (diverse learning spaces such as home, community, religious spaces, among many others) is critical. Re-imagining relations between global North and South in education and learning is fundamental to addressing marginalisation and its root causes, including by ‘reversing the gaze’ to critically examine the role played by the North in education, learning, and development from the perspectives of the global majority.

This conference will bring together scholars and practitioners in the field of international education, training, and lifelong learning at this crucial half-way point on the timeline set for the SDGs in 2015, offering opportunity for diverse and critical dialogue and debate on ways forward in this crucial field of research and practice.
