The conference theme, Critical Approaches to Close-Up Higher Education Research<\/strong>, and the four \u2018Think Pieces<\/a> provided by the keynote speakers, invite participants to engage with questions around the ways in which close-up higher education research reflects, incorporates or furthers higher education as a critical endeavor.<\/p>\n In very different ways, each of the think pieces addresses the conference theme. The differences in the focus and concerns of the four think pieces are intended to offer conference participants a number of different angles from which to think about this theme. In responding to one or more of the think pieces in their proposals, participants might choose to build on the work in the think piece, to contest or challenge the ideas or assumptions they contain, or to show how these issues have arisen in their own research. In building the conference around a common theme and the four think pieces the intention is to encourage the development of in-depth collective conversations over the three days of the conference.<\/p>\n We invite proposals for contributions that engage with questions around the ways in which close-up higher education research reflects, incorporates or furthers higher education as a critical endeavor. Proposals submitted earlier than the final date can be reviewed within two weeks to enable successful contributors to secure funding and\/or make travel arrangements. <\/span><\/p>\n Proposals may include contributions in the following areas, but are not limited to these:<\/p>\n There are two forms of proposals:<\/p>\n Single Paper proposals People are welcome to submit more than one proposal, however, where space is limited we will give priority to ensuring one paper from each person.<\/p>\n Papers will be allocated 30 minutes, 20 minutes for presentation and a further ten minutes for questions.<\/p>\n For those wishing to submit single paper proposals, an outline of 1000 words should be submitted via EasyChair<\/a>. \u00a0The closing date for submissions is the 6th December, 2021<\/strong>. The outline should include a discussion of how the paper relates to the conference theme and to one or more of the keynote \u2018think pieces\u2019.<\/p>\n Download<\/a> the peer review criteria for single paper proposals.<\/p>\n Symposium sessions will take up a full conference session (90 minutes) and will involve a\u00a0minimum of three conference participants. A symposium might involve a collection of up to three papers on a related theme or an innovative use of the space that could include an interactive activity or a performance piece. Proposals for Symposia should be approximately 1500 words and, in addition to discussing their relation to the conference theme and one or more of the \u2018think pieces\u2019, should provide an outline of how the symposium will make use of the 90 minute space. Those thinking of submitting a symposium are encouraged to use the\u00a0HECU discussion list\u00a0to find partners to work with in developing their proposals. Any participants who would like to discuss their proposed symposium prior to submission can contact\u00a0\u00a0Jan McArthur.<\/p>\n Download<\/a> the peer review criteria for symposium proposals.<\/p>\n One joint proposal for each symposium should be submitted via EasyChair<\/a>.\u00a0 The closing date for submission has been extended to the 12th December, 2021<\/strong>. The Administrator will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours.<\/p>\n Those who wish to have their final paper considered for a special journal issue should submit a copy to the Conference Desk during the conference.<\/p>\n Authors should use the Template<\/a> provided when writing their final paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Call for Proposals The conference theme, Critical Approaches to Close-Up Higher Education Research, and the four \u2018Think Pieces provided by the keynote speakers, invite participants to engage with questions around the ways in which close-up higher education research reflects, incorporates or furthers higher education as a critical endeavor.
