*Call For Papers*
*PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY OF AUSTRALASIA (PESA) conference: Hamilton, New Zealand, 22- 25 November 2014* *The theme of this year's conference is Education as Philosophies of Engagement.* The term 'engagement' suggests many aspects crucial not only to education, but to living in our contemporary globalised world. Engagement invokes thoughts about the relational, the personal; to cultures, religions; physical, emotional, psychological and virtual spaces; contesting political, economic and social critique and encompassing notions of civic engagement and activism; of engaging the stranger and the foreigner, the self, the 'thou' and 'other'. Engagement signals the importance of traversing philosophical possibilities and negotiating ways to deal with contrasting or conflicting views - with anger, with violence and war. How can we/ought we engage with each other and with world issues such as inequalities, child poverty, female education, genocide, democracy and so on based on these provocations? *Submissions can be in the form of refereed papers, presentations or symposia. Abstracts due by 7 JULY.* *Further information is available from the website www.pesa.org.au/conference <http://www.pesa.org.au/conference>* We warmly invite you to join with us in this exciting event and ask you to please circulate this email amongst interested parties. *Phillipa Whiteford* PESA 2014 Conference Administrator Email: [email protected] *http://www.pesa.org.au/conference* <http://www.pesa.org.au/conference> -- Eliza Goddard Executive Officer, Australasian Association of Philosophy GPO BOX 1978, Hobart 7001, Australia www.aap.org.au ACN 152 892 272 ABN 29 152 892 272
