SANORD Conference at Rhodes

May 11, 2009
By: Kelly Hamilton

Call for Papers and Panels

The second SANORD International Conference on 'Inclusion and Exclusion in Higher Education' will take place at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa on 7-9 December 2009.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 10 June 2009.

The theme of the conference is: "Inclusion and Exclusion in Higher Education".

It will explore how higher education reflects, extends or transcends inequalities of gender, race, class, health and culture. What are the legacies of inclusion and exclusion in the SADC and Nordic regions, and what policies and measures did governments, educational institutions or pressure groups adopt to transcend them and with what effects? How are policies changing today as societies are affected by processes of democratization, cultural integration, climate change or economic crisis?

Drawing on Southern African and Nordic experiences, the conference will explore diverse challenges and experiences in both regions in order to develop a comparative perspective.
