Azim Premji University

Call for Papers – Philosophy of Education Seminars

 

Regional Seminars (Kolkata, Pondicherry, Jaipur, Dehradun) – Aug & Sep 2012
International Seminar (Bangalore) – Jan 2013

 

Philosophy of education is central to any vision of education and plays an important part in shaping programmes conceptually and in their implementation. Hence, for education to remain a meaningful endeavour and to be able to make the necessary transformative contributions, it is imperative that issues facing education, both foundational as well as precipitated are addressed from the standpoint of philosophy. At the same time, it is equally important to ensure that questions central to inquiries in philosophy of education permeate and percolate into different aspects of the discourse on education. These range from the general policy frameworks to curriculum design to the foundations of teacher education.

 

Azim Premji University is committed to fostering philosophical discussions concerning education and creating a robust atmosphere to facilitate such exchanges. This series of seminars is our first step in this endeavour. The University will provide assistance to shortlisted young scholars in writing their papers in the form of email consultation and a collaborative space with other scholars.
