Submission of proposals: Extended to 12th December 2021<\/strong> Higher Education Close-Up is a peer reviewed biennial international conference, focused on issues relating to in-depth research into higher education. HECU10 takes place at Lancaster University on 4th – 6th July, 2022 and follows on from the very successful HECU9 in Cape Town, South Africa in November 2018. Higher Education Close Up is a virtual network of the Society For Research into Higher Education<\/a>. The conference venue will be the luxurious Lancaster House Hotel<\/a>, with accommodation for delegates in the hotel’s ensuite rooms.<\/p>\n The conference runs from lunchtime on the first day to lunchtime on the third day to enable colleagues to travel to and from Lancaster.<\/span><\/p>\n Conference Theme<\/strong><\/p>\n The theme for HECU10 is \u2018Critical approaches to close-up higher education research<\/strong>\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n The theme is intended to open discussion around multiple understandings of criticality in close-up higher education research.\u00a0\u00a0This includes, but is not limited to, the use of critical theory and\/or critical pedagogy as a lens through which to engage with research into higher education.\u00a0Equally it refers to taking a critical stance in terms of a questioning approach to the research processes themselves and towards the broader social framework in which higher education is situated.\u00a0\u00a0The theme raises questions about how we conduct such close-up research in a time in which higher education itself, and the practices and values of the academy, are subject to critique and challenge.\u00a0\u00a0How do we demonstrate critical reflexivity as close-up researchers in a time of \u2018fake news\u2019 and challenges to the role of expert knowledge?\u00a0In what ways is a commitment to critical approaches a necessary feature of the fine-grained, nuanced research that defines the \u2018close-up\u2019 approach, in contrast to other forms of research?\u00a0\u00a0Finally, we should consider the relationship between close-up research and more macro perspectives:\u00a0 understood through the lens of criticality what are the tensions between them and in what ways may they be complementary (this thread also encompasses the notion of interdisciplinarity and what it means to adopt a critical interdisciplinary approach).Each of the keynote speakers has provided a think piece, which raises questions about different aspects of this theme.\u00a0\u00a0We ask that conference participants submit proposals for papers that in some way respond to these questions that that an interactive conversation can develop before, during and, we hope, after the conference.<\/span><\/p>\n The Call for Proposals<\/a> outlines this process in more detail<\/span><\/p>\n The Higher Education Close Up discussion list is at: http:\/\/www.jiscmail.ac.uk\/lists\/HIGHER-EDUCATION-CLOSE-UP.html<\/a>. Please join this list for conference announcements and to participate in ongoing discussions of in-depth higher education research.<\/p>\n As with previous conferences, we aim to put together a Special Issue of a journal based on selected papers from the conference. The papers will be selected on the basis of: a) academic quality and b) their contribution to making a coherent collection, taken together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lancaster University, UK. \u00a04th – 6th July 2022 Key Dates Submission of proposals: Extended to 12th December 2021 Notification of outcomes: 10th January 2022 Early Bird Registration deadline: 14th March 2022 Registration Deadline: 13th June 2022 About the Conference Higher Education Close-Up is a peer reviewed biennial international conference, focused on issues relating to in-depth … Continue reading About HECU10<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":834,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/834"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":29,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":224,"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions\/224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/hecu10\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
