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 - 28 February 2017

The conference will be organized from the Vrije Universiteit (VU)
(https://www.vu.nl/en/index.aspx) teacher training institute in Amsterdam by a
team of education, narrative and metaphor specialists. Its research institute,
LEARN! (http://www.learn.vu.nl/nl/learn-in-english/index.aspx), carries out
both basic and applied research on learning and education. The conference is
organized in collaboration with Metaphor Lab Amsterdam
(http://metaphorlab.org/). 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.
