The Student Committee were on a roll in 2024!
Annual Early Career Researchers (ECR) Conference
In July 2024, theBAICE ECR Conference was held over two days, July 20 and 21, 2024 with the theme ‘Global Crises, Continuities, and Change: Imagining Educational Responses in an (Un)certain World’. The conference included brilliant presentations, conversations, stories and posters from practitioners and ECRs across the world. It also included a keynote address by our very own Tejendra Pherali, former Chair of BAICE and Professor of Education, Conflict and Peace at IOE, University College London, a workshop on storytelling by Joanna Wheeler and a fabulous roundtable!
We look forward to having you join us this year as we honour and celebrate Arif Naveed, a past BAICE Student Representative who sadly passed away.
ECR Day
In September, the ECR Day was held on Monday 2nd September as part of the BAICE 2024 conference. The activities for the day were in three parts. First, we hosted the COMPARE workshop followed by a roundtable session with academics and Student/ECR and finally, a combined speed mentoring and social. This event was organised by the ECR Day Sub-committee, Prof. Namrata Rao (BAICE Vice Chair), Kike Ladipo (BAICE Student Representative) and Vanessa Ozawa, Doctoral Researcher, Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan.
We celebrated Black History Month 2024!
The BAICE Student Committee organised an online event in October 2024 to celebrate Black History Month. The theme was ‘Black Futures in Education’.
The Keynote speaker Dr Victoria Showunmi, Associate Professor, University College London, UCL Institute of Education gave a thought-provoking presentation as a black woman in HE. Also, Abodunrin, PhD Researcher, University of Glasgow and Saffron Powell, PhD Researcher, Kings College London discussed their research and ways to better connect with their communities.
It was indeed an incredible opportunity to come together, learn, network, and celebrate Black History Month.
Finally, students and ECRs provided us with phenomenal blog articles through the year as part of our monthly Student/ECR Blog Series. Look out for the 2025 Student/ECR Blog Series and Join us as we relaunch our Podcast series.
We look forward to another interesting year.
Wishing you all the best for 2025!
