#ALL4SocialChange PhD Webinar Series launched – Call for Presentations

Posted on 21/09/2018 By BAICE

Context

The #ALL4SocialChange webinar series 2018-19, within the University of East Anglia UNESCO Chair, seeks to create a platform for different actors (academics, policy-makers and practitioners) to engage in a conversation exploring issues, potentialities, ongoing research and programmes in the field of adult literacy and learning. It aims to open doors for discussion among different sectors that may be employing different approaches and sharing the same concerns.

A maximum of eight (8) PhD researchers will be selected to present their work through a webinar format to reach a wide variety of audiences globally. There will be a conscious effort to ensure gender parity and equal representation by researchers in the global South and global North.

The webinar series has been designed to foster the exchange among academics, practitioners and policy makers on ongoing research in ALL. Preliminary findings should point to potential impact at the policy and practitioner levels and be communicated in lay language. Preference will be given to late stage PhD Students who have already defined their approach (even if incompletely) and obtained significant results (e.g., that might already have been published).

The UNESCO Chair in Adult Literacy and Learning for Social Transformation is based at the School of Education and Lifelong Learning in UEA. The UNESCO Chair partner institutions are: Bahir Dar University (Ethiopia), Kathmandu University and Tribhuvan University Research Center for Educational Innovation and Development (Nepal), Ain Shams University (Egypt) and University of Sto. Tomas (Philippines).
