The Nordic Educational Research Association and the School of Education at the University of Iceland wish to announce that we have opened for registration and submis-sion of abstracts, posters and proposals for symposia and round-tables for the next Annu-al Nordic Conference on Educational Researchwhich will take place on March 7-9, 2013, in Reykjavík, Iceland.
The theme of the Congress is ‘Disruptions and eruptions as opportunities for trans-forming education’, and says i.a.: “The financial and economic crises since 2008 have shocked the world and led to cut-downs in many public sectors including education.
The Nordic response was generally to protect education and other egalitarian and welfare as-pects of society from the most dramatic measures taken, but in the wake of such defen-sive actions the long-term development of education has to be reconsidered. Disruptions offer us a challenge to explore the direction of educational reforms in the light of the global reshuffling that is taking place.”
Four keynote speakers will address the conference:
Dr. Anna Stetsenko, City University of New York
Dr. Kristján Kristjánsson, University of Iceland and University of Birmingham
Dr. Kristiina Kumpulainen, University of Helsinki
Dr. Diane Reay, Cambridge University UK
Participants will have the opportunity to present papers from all fields of educational re-search, either within one of the 24 networks of NERA or in symposia and workshops/round tables especially designed for the conference.
We welcome proposals from all fields of educational research. The congress language is English. It is possible, however, to present in Scandinavian languages as well.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: November 1. 2012.
