Oxford Comparative and International Education Seminar Series
Re-Examining the Meaning of Learning in an Uncertain World
Department of Education | St. Antony's College | University of Oxford
Hilary Term | January - March
Supported by the Aga Khan Foundation
The programme offers a dedicated seminar series in St Antony’s College that runs for 8 consecutive weeks in Hilary Term (January to March) each year.
The inaugural 2017 Oxford CIE Global Seminar Series, supported by the Aga Khan Foundation, examined what we know about learning as formal outcomes of schooling but also what it meant to learn to be, and to learn to become. As societies become more diverse, how do we learn to live together? What is the role of pluralism in and through education? As economies change at speed, how do we learn to adapt? As technology develops at pace, how do we learn to interact with new screens and new media in socially, politically and economically productive ways? As the politics of colonialism and repression in the past begin to unravel, how do we learn to engage with the challenges of the present, and of the future?
The seminar series convened 24 distinguished speakers from around the world to discuss the meaning of learning in various contexts, including but not limited to North America, Europe, the Middle East, East Africa, Central Asia, and West Africa, South America, and South Asia.
The Live Feed online reached more than 49,000 viewers across 48 countries in its first year. The seminars were held in the Syndicate Room at St Antony’s College.
The 2018 schedule will be posted by October 2017.
