Event for 2022
AARE/ISCAR Cultural Historical & Activity Theories Winter School
Monday 20th to Friday 24th June 2022
The Winter School is an opportunity for research students and researchers using Cultural-historical & Activity theories facilitated by senior researchers in the fields to spend time delving into theory and research over five days. The Winter School will be a residential retreat at the Warrnambool campus of Deakin University, an idyllic rural setting on the banks of the Hopkins River, and a pleasant train journey from Melbourne. It will be entirely face to face. The Winter School is supported by the Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE), and ISCAR members are warmly invited.
We will bring together scholars with an emphasis on building deeper understandings of theory, relationships between researchers and advancing the research of doctoral students and early career researchers. We plan a variety of sessions including extended workshops, small group discussions, deep reading sessions, international presentation from the field on how theory is being applied, one- to-one consultations, and working on research methodology and analysis and writing.
The school will be led by internationally recognised scholars such as Nikolai Veresov, Joce Nuttal, David Kellogg, Andy Blunden and John Cripps Clark.
It is anticipated, based on summer schools over the last three years, that participants will have the opportunity to significantly advance their research through a time of intense thinking, listening, reading and writing in collaboration with other researchers and senior academics.
