Exploring Diversity in Education

Diversity within classrooms and societies: Perspectives on Teacher, Moral, and Democracy Education

The Department of Education at the University of Oxford is delighted to announce that we will be hosting the EARLI Special Interest Group 11 ‘Teaching and Teacher Education’ and Group 13 ‘Moral and Democratic Education’ conference, on the 12th to the 14th of August 2024 in the beautiful, historic city of Oxford, UK. As a department who has shaped education and education research globally through research excellence, academic study, and teacher training for more than 100 years we are perfectly placed to host this joint SIG.

The European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction and two of its special interest groups have collaborated this year to create an international conference. This joint conference of SIG 11 and SIG 13 will allow us to connect insights from Teaching and Teacher Education with perspectives from Moral and Democratic Education to approach the topic of diversity within classrooms and societies. It highlights the relevance of teachers for moral and democratic education and the importance of moral and democratic education for teachers’ professional development. By joining the two SIG communities, we aim to develop a unique and relevant perspective on the academic and practical implications of diversity.

We warmly welcome you to the EARLI SIG 11 & 13 conference in Oxford!
