Event Description

Full Description:
Charting edcuational futures: Building on 20 years of research.

In 2015, we celebrate 20 years of the School of Education’s Postgraduate Research Conference. This year also marks 70 years of Education at The University of Queensland.

The conference is free of charge and Research Higher Degree students in Education and associated areas from UQ and other Higher Education Institutions are welcome to participate.

The keynote address will be given by Professor Martin Nakata, Director of Nura Gili, University of New South Wales

Keynote address title: Theorising the contemporary space as a Cultural Interface.
Professor Nakata will speak on inscriptions of 'people of difference' in a Western order of things and how they come to place limitations on the way we theorise the contemporary space. He will draw on work he has undertaken over many years to shift allegiances away from positions of difference and their grand narratives in Indigenous education to demonstrate what is possible when theoretical standpoints afford a more local view to the characteristics of students as learners. He hopes to encourage higher degree research students to look at the everyday world as problematic and to try approaches that extend beyond the wisdom of conventional approaches.
