Symposium materials

On the 21st en 22nd of February the 2nd German-Dutch ISCAR symposium was held in Amsterdam. First of all the organising committee likes to thank again all the participants and presenters. We think that with the help of the keynotes and the posters the discussions were very interesting and helped our collective thinking on CHAT a little step forward. Your thoughts on what sense or meaning it had for you is evaluated with a short questionaire on Google: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nHGyqToTOAuR5k29cz784tWtw7WZ3hcaF2HRghFmMzg/viewform

Secondly, all the conference materials, including the presentations, the programme, abstracts are now available below and the video of the keynotes of Pompert and Van Oers is online.  In addition a short impression of the member meeting can be found there as well.

Other sources to connect with each other are:

The website of our society (where non-members also can become a member): www.iscar.org

On LinkedIn: GE-NL ISCAR group and NL-group.

Furthermore the online open-access journal Outlines. Critical practice studies is always looking for editors, manuscripts and perhaps a special issue based on our symposium. For more information contact Michalis (michaliskonto[at]googlemail[dot]com).

Finally we like to know what you idea’s  are regarding the symposium and how to continue this. For that reason we have a little survey that we’d like to ask all participants to take. The survey can be found here. In the survey one question is who is willing to help organising the next symposium, perhaps in collaboration with the members of the current organising committee. As soon as there is a new committee we will notify everyone of you for the next symposium. We hope to see you then, if not earlier.

Best regards,

Call for posters for 2nd DE-NL ISCAR symposium

For the upcoming German-Dutch ISCAR symposium ‘Practical elaborations on Cultural Historical Activity Theory’ we invite researchers and practitioners to inspire each other with regard to this relation between theory and practice. After the much appreciated first symposium in Potsdam, the intention is to organize a symposium with much space and time for informal interaction and discussions, so that all participants can meet and indeed inspire each other.

Neoliberalism, Pedagogy & Human Development by M. Kontopodis

The book Neoliberalism, Pedagogy & Human Development: Exploring Time, Mediation and Collectivity in Contemporary Schools by M. Kontopodis (London: Routledge) has just been published. For special discount for ISCAR members contact directly the author: michaliskonto(a)googlemail.com

Summary: In most Western developed countries, adult life is increasingly organized on the basis of short-term work contracts and reduced social security funds. In this context it seems that producing efficient job-seekers and employees becomes the main aim of educational programs for the next generation. Through case studies of young people from urban and countryside marginalized populations in Germany, USA and Brazil, this book investigates emerging educational practices and takes a critical stance towards what can be seen as neoliberal educational politics. It investigates how mediating devices such as CVs, school reports, school files, photos and narratives shape the ways in which those marginalized students reflect about their past as well as imagine their future. By building on process philosophy and time theory, post-structuralism, as well as on Vygotsky’s psychological theory, the analysis differentiates between two discrete modes of human development: development of concrete skills (potential development) and development of new societal relations (virtual development, which is at the same time individual and collective). The book outlines an innovative relational account of learning and human development which can prove of particular importance for the education of marginalized students in today’s globalized world.

LinkedIn groepen – LinkedIn Gruppen

Sinds enige tijd bestaat er op LinkedIn een ISCAR-NL groep en een ISCAR GE-NL groep. Beiden zijn open groepen, dus ook zichtbaar voor niet leden. Het is een plaats om collega’s met dezelfde theoretische achtergrond te vinden en ermee in contact te komen.

De NL-groep is te vinden via deze link. De GE-NL-groep via deze link.

==

Seit einiger Zeit gibt es auf LinkedIn eine ISCAR-NL-Gruppe und eine ISCAR-DE-NL-Gruppe. Beide sind offene Gruppen und für Nicht-Mitglieder sichtbar. Es ist ein Ort, um Kollegen mit gleichem theoretischen Hintergrund zu finden und mit ihnen in Verbindung zu treten.

Die DE-NL-Gruppe ist über diesen Link zu erreichen.

Latest update local ISCAR issues since Rome

Since the ISCAR conference in Rome a few issues were open.

First of all, the representation of our section in the executive committee was not yet decided. Martijn van Schaik was interim for the time being. The Dutch delegation promised to find someone and has decided that he will be the representative.

In order to more easily connect with the German part of the section, we have found Andrea Karsten to be willing to ‘liaison’ between me and German members. Which means together we coordinate the local issues if necessary.

Next issue was the German-Dutch Symposium. Also for this, in Rome the Dutch part of the section agreed to organise this. At the moment we are creating an organising committee. We hope to have more information on that in a month or so on this website.

On an international level the executive committee is now discussing issues on the membership fee and publishing conference papers on the website. In a next letter we will inform you on the outcome of those. Meanwhile visit the website for more international issues: http://www.iscar.org.

 Die Tagung beginnte am Freitag, den 1. Juli 2010 um 18:15 Uhr mit dem Abendessen. Am Samstag und Sonntag fanden Vorträge der Teilnehmer statt und am Sonntag wurde über die zukünftigen Aktivitäten diskutiert. Die Tagung endete am Sonntag, den 11. Juli 2010 nach dem Mittagessen. Das genauere Programm finden Sie hier: Programm Ohrbeck 2011

Ganz herzlichen Dank an Falk Seeger (falk.seeger@uni-bielefeld.de) für die Organisation!
