TEESNet 13th Annual Conference

28th September 2022, Liverpool Hope University
------------------------------------------------------------

*** Re-Imagining Teacher Education: Transforming Learning for a Just
and Sustainable World
*------------------------------------------------------------*‘Our
world is at a turning point. We already know that knowledge and
learning are the basis for renewal and transformation’[1] (#_ftn1)
*
Education, in its various forms, holds transformative potential.
However, concerns persist that it reinforces and perpetuates the
conditions for exclusion, injustice and unsustainable lifestyles.
There is growing realization that education, as it takes place
currently, is inadequate to the global crises we face. Fuelled by a
growing sense of urgency, these arguments call for education itself to
be transformed to meet with the challenges of shaping peaceful, just
and sustainable futures. They emphasise themes of interconnectivities,
interdependencies and the holistic approach advocated by United
Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4.7. They also highlight the need
to build capacities of educators to facilitate transformative learning
and support collective responses to global challenges anchored in
ecological, social and economic justice[2] (#_ftn2) .

The 13th annual TEESNet conference responds to the urgency of these
calls and seeks to re-imagine teacher education by inviting research
papers, examples of practice and creative contributions which relate
to one or more of the following themes:
*Interconnectivities and interdependencies - what kind of educational
approaches can:
** promote understanding of interdependencies at a range of scales
between individuals, groups and other species,
* support connectedness between educational purpose, policy and
curriculum choices, drawing on internationally agreed frameworks such
as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
*Intersections between ecological, racial and social justice - how can
teacher educators ensure connections are made between global
challenges which respond ethically to:
** the legacies of colonialism, imperialism and ongoing harm to Black,
Brown and Minority Ethnic communities* (#*) , and those in the Global
South
* the need for unlearning of bias, prejudice and exceptionalism
towards other people and the planet.
*Interdisciplinary learning - what possibilities exist for learning which:
** is grounded in real life contexts, the concerns of young people and
their communities
* challenges the ‘subjectification’ of knowledge and promotes the kind
of critical, creative and systems thinking required to fundamentally
shift our relationship with the planet and each other
*Cooperation and solidarity - what kind of pedagogical approaches are needed to:
** foster participation, collaboration and problem-orientated
approaches across groups and divides, including intercultural and
intergenerational
* support young people and teachers to participate in public debate on
alternative futures and build capacities for transforming the world
together

TEESNet activity deliberately cuts across sectors.* We welcome
proposals from educators and students in universities, schools, and
NGOs/CSOs, as well as researchers, policy makers, and those engaged in
all forms of education. We are interested in individual and
co-authored papers, practice- oriented workshops and creative
provocations. *We encourage collaborations across sectors and work
that draws on perspectives that are underrepresented and may face
barriers to participation.

Please send a proposal of no more than 300 words in Word format to
Andrea Bullivant at  bulliva at hope.ac.uk and
fizza at liverpoolworldcentre.org (mailto:Fizza at liverpoolworldcentre.org)
*by 23 May 2022 *with the email subject ‘TEESNet 2022 Conference CFP’.

Proposals should include the following:
* Title of paper or proposal in the form of a workshop or provocation,
and key words (paper only)
* Name, institutional/organisational affiliation (where relevant) and
email address of presenter(s)
* An outline of the proposal in no more than 300 words clearly indicating:
- which theme you are responding to
- the purpose of the research or the question(s)/ideas(s) being
explored in practice
- relevant theory, conceptual frameworks, methods or approaches used
- results or conclusions and implications

Proposals will be peer reviewed by a sub-group of the TEESNet Steering
Committee. Decisions about whether or not the proposal is accepted and
any developments required will be communicated by 30 June 2022
