[ecrea] CFP: identity, Voice, Creativity, Action!
Sun Jun 25 16:44:31 GMT 2017
European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA) Network
on Education and Learning of Older Adults (ELOA)
Hosted by Leeds Beckett University, School of Film, Music and Performing
Arts and the Association for Education and Ageing
IDENTITY, VOICE, CREATIVITY, ACTION!
The 8th conference of the ESREA Network - ELOA 9 - 11 November 2017
Leeds, UK
EXTENDED CALL FOR PAPERS – ELOA 2017
Introduction
Older people learning creatively for creativity, finding a ‘voice’ and
taking action.
The theme embraces community-based learning and activism, arts-based
learning for older people, and creative approaches to older people’s
learning.
We face a number of challenges across Europe in relation to older
people’s learning: resources, changing working lives; ageing
populations; insufficient social and health care; intergenerational
tensions (whether real or manufactured), to name but a few.
Seeking to build on the themes of previous ELOA conferences and to bring
a creative approach to older people’s learning, this conference will
address some familiar themes in new ways and shed light on some of the
issues by looking at them from different perspectives. Can we change our
perceptions and bring a creative approach to our work at the same time
as using our work to support changing practices and outcomes for
learning in communities and across society?
The conference will address the following themes:
*
Access to learning for older people
*
Cultural dimensions of older people’s learning
*
Equality and diversity of older people’s learning
*
Community learning
*
The role of adult educators and their work with older learners
*
Older people learning in the cultural sector
We would like to extend the idea of creativity into the whole
conference program, so are interested to see proposals / abstracts
which include workshops or performances as well as traditional
papers or posters. For speed, we might just describe these as
‘papers’ or ‘abstracts’ - but don’t forget they could include much
more than this.

Have you got new things to discuss? New ways to present? Now is your chance!
Our venue can be adaptable - so long as we know well in advance and
performance spaces / film screenings could be carried out.
Already confirmed for this year’s conference Anne Gallagher, director of
Lumniate, Scotland’s premier creative ageing organisation. Dr Vicki
Watts, chair of the Dance Department at Cornish College of the Arts and
widely published author. Teresa Brayshaw, active ageing expert and
senior academic for the School of Film, Music and Performing Arts at
Leeds Beckett University.
The conference will be held in English.
Call for Papers / Workshops
The abstract should be maximum 450 words long and must include a title
and 5 keywords, but not the author/s name/s or institution/s. These
should be provided in the email accompanying the abstract together with
name, institutional affiliation, and contact details. All abstracts will
be put to the consideration of the Selection Committee.
The abstract should be prepared using the following requirements:
• Should address adult education;
• Should include the theoretical framework and represent a systematic
enquiry of an analytical
or empirical nature;
• Background, method, results and implications should be set out clearly
in a manner which is
accessible to an international audience.
In addition, please use no more than a further 100 words to state how
you will present your paper/workshop/performance etc. and what space or
facilities would be needed. Please note that there is unlikely to be
more time for each presentation than at a ‘standard’ conference so
nothing longer than 30 minutes including discussion time should be
proposed. (If you would like to propose something different please
contact the organizers before submitting your abstract.)
The abstract proposal must indicate which of the named authors will be
presenting the paper. The conference organizers will allocate a
discussant for the session where papers will be presented. Accepted
abstracts will be available in PDF-format on the conference website.
The date for submission of abstracts is 1 September 2017. All abstracts
are to be submitted by email to Dave Turner: (d.p.turner /at/ leedsbeckett.ac.uk)
Acceptance of papers/workshops will be confirmed by 15 September 2017.
Dave Turner will be our conference administrator and all queries should
be addressed to him.
If accepted for presentation, final versions of papers (no more than
5,000 words including references) must be submitted by 28 October 2017.
Please use Times New Roman, 12 and the APA (American Psychological
Association) reference system.

About ESREA
ESREA is a European scientific society. It was established in 1991 to
provide a European- wide forum for all researchers engaged in research
on adult education and learning and to promote and disseminate
theoretical and empirical research in the field. The European Society
for Research on the Education of Adults promotes and disseminates
theoretical and empirical research on the education of adults and adult
learning in Europe through research networks, conferences and
publications. Active members come from most parts of Europe.
ESREA provides an important space for these changes and (re)definition
of adult education and learning in relation to research, theory, policy
and practice to be reflected upon and discussed. This takes place at the
triennial conference, network conferences and through the publication of
books and a journal.
ESREA Research Networks
The major priority of ESREA is the encouragement of co-operation between
active researchers in the form of thematic research networks which
encourage inter-disciplinary research drawing on a broad range of the
social sciences. These research networks hold annual/biennial seminars
and conferences for the exchange of research results and to encourage
publications.
The current active ESREA networks are:
*
Access, Learning Careers and Identities
*
Active Democratic Citizenship and Adult Learning
*
Adult Educators, Trainers and their Professional Development
*
Between Global and Local: Adult Learning and Development
*
Education and Learning of Older Adults
*
Gender and Adult Learning
*
History of Adult Education and Training in Europe
*
Interrogating Transformative Processes in Learning
*
Life-history and Biographical Research
*
Migration, Ethnicity, Racism and Xenophobia
*
Policy Studies in Adult Education
*
Working Life and Learning
