Meeting Description:

Look both ways - Narrative & Metaphor in Education

Over the last 30 years, educationists have drawn increasingly on insights from
philosophy, psychology, anthropology, cognitive science and linguistics to
examine the roles played by narrative and metaphor in every domain of
educational theory and practice. The narrative and metaphor perspectives have,
however, mostly been used separately and opportunities for researchers and
educators to meet and share their ideas are rare. This conference takes up the
challenge of bringing educationists who have employed the narrative lens into
conversation with those who have employed the metaphor lens. It highlights the
work of those few researchers who have demonstrated 'binocular vision' (that
is, employed the two perspectives in combination) in their study of education.
The implications of research for teaching and policy practice will be
particularly emphasized. The result should be a fuller account than has
previously been attempted of the intricate relations which operate at the
nexus between narrative and metaphor in and of education.

There will be 6 confirmed keynote presentations, by scholars who have
undertaken outstanding work on narrative and metaphor in educational theory or
practice:

Jean Clandinin, Vera Caine & Sean Lessard - University of Alberta, Canada
Martin Cortazzi - University of Warwick & Lixian Jin - De Montfort University,
UK
Kieran Egan - Simon Fraser University, Canada
Michael Hanne - University of Auckland, New Zealand
Martijn Meeter - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Niklas Pramling - University of Gothenburg, Sweden

Registration: 1 October 2016 - 17 February 2017


Call for Papers:

Proposals for interactive paper sessions, posters and 75-minute workshops
(with an applied focus) are invited from scholars and practitioners in every
field of education. Presentations employing innovative or creative formats are
particularly welcome and submissions by practising teachers are invited. 

Submission deadline: 14 October 2016

The conference will be organized from the Vrije Universiteit (VU) teacher
training institute in Amsterdam by a team of education, narrative and metaphor
specialists.  Its research institute, LEARN!, carries out both basic and
applied research on learning and education. The conference is organized in
collaboration with Metaphor Lab Amsterdam. It is the fourth in a series on the
role of narrative and metaphor in different disciplines. The first, relating
to medicine, was held at UC Berkeley in 2010. The second, relating to
politics, was held at Claremont Graduate University in 2012. The third,
relating to law, was held at Stanford Law School in early 2016.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
