Humanism, Posthumanism, Anti-Humanism: Educational Perspectives

Third international conference Why Still Education?

Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade

05-07 October 2022

Speakers:

Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht University, Netherlands

Stefan Lorenz Sorgner, John Cabot University in Rome, Italy

Carol Taylor, University of Bath, UK

Grasping the present situation of our human and educational history requires (re)thinking a number of important questions. Of course, the answers to these questions depend on our understanding of humanism and posthumanism, the critique surrounding both, and what we consider that education is for or should become.

We invite the global scholarly and teacher community to submit abstracts for the conference that provide theoretical, philosophical, sociological, practical or any disciplinary insights on the reflections. We welcome a broad range of contributions that provide educational perspectives on humanism, posthumanism, de-humanism, and related approaches, such as new materialism, including papers with a special focus on related ecological and technological aspects.

The Conference will be organised in-person depending on the epidemiologic circumstances. The Program Committee of the conference will select the presenters based on the submitted abstracts. A book of abstracts will be published and distributed during the conference. The organizers aim subsequently to publish an edited volume comprising the conference papers.

There is no registration fee. Refreshments during the conference will be provided. The Conference venue is Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, 45 Kraljice Natalije Street, Belgrade, Serbia.

The official languages of the conference are English and Serbian.

Conference applications should be sent via e-mail to the following address: [email protected] no later than June 1, 2022. Possible presentation formats are individual or co-authored papers.

Notification of acceptance on the submitted abstracts is by June 15, 2022.

The Conference is organized by eduLab – the Laboratory for Educational Strategies of the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade.
