CFP: International Froebel Society 7th Biennial Conference
What does it mean to understand Froebel? – Working on, with and according to Froebel today
Lutheran Froebel Training Institute
Kassel, Germany
23-25 June 2016
Nationally and internationally, we see today a broad variety of opportunities to value Froebel pedagogy in terms of both theoretical and/or practical interests. The range of readings and applications covers philologically exact reconstructions of the “authentic” Froebel as well as modernized interpretations and even some divergent forms of practical transfer into concrete kindergarten work. An important aim of the conference is to provide a forum for the different forms of work and research on, with and according to Froebel worldwide, and to offer opportunities for dialogue and mutual exchange about individuals’ access to and the handling of Froebelian pedagogy.

Journey:
1: the act of travelling from one place to another, especially when involving a considerable distance; a trip
2: A distance to be travelled or the time required for a trip.
3: A process or course likened to travelling, such as a series of experiences; a passageJourneying: To make a journey, to travel, to move over or through, wayfinding, pathways, roving, roaming, peregrinations, jaunts, trips, excursions, mobility
Journeyer: one who journeys
Young people (here defined as teenagers and twenty somethings) are considered to be journeyers in many ways: through transitions, identity mobilities, roving their neighbourhoods, desirous of being somewhere else, forced into moving, dreaming of future travelling adventures, making excursions, finding ways and paths, roaming without direction. We wish to interpret the meanings of young people’s journeying and journeys in multi-layered and polysemic ways. We are interested in where young people go, how do they get there, what happens on arrival? Continue reading CFP – AAG2016 Panel on Journeying Young People
CFP: Mobile Geographies of Learning at AAG 2016
112th Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers
San Francisco, California
March 29 – April 2, 2016
San Francisco, California
March 29 – April 2, 2016
“Mobile Geographies of Learning”
Organizers: Jennie Germann Molz, College of the Holy Cross, USA; Zsuzsa Millei, SPARG, University of Tampere, Finland
This session explores how education, learning and place making in educational spaces intersect with transnational mobilities, performances of national and global citizenship, and digital technologies. We ask what kinds of knowledge, subjectivities, and geographies emerge as learning becomes more mobile and interconnected. For example, new technologies that support mobile and remote learning enable parents, teachers, and children to tap into the educational potential of global travel. From Herodotus to the 18th-century Grand Tour to contemporary study abroad and gap year programs, ‘travel has been pursued for the sake of knowledge’ (Adler 1989, p. 1382). This assumed affinity between global travel and education has inspired a range of alternative educational practices such as roadschooling and worldschooling.

CFP – Childist Landscapes
Association of American Geographers Annual Meeting
San Francisco, March 29 – April 2, 2016
Childist Landscapes: Geographies of child abuse and neglect, and the maltreatment of young people
If one’s experience of life is rooted in one’s childhood, a richer understanding of social malaise could be gleaned by examining the most prevalent and widespread form of violence in society: the abuse, neglect, and maltreatment of children (Miller, 1981). Continue reading CFP – Childist Landscapes
