Call for research cooperation: Public and Alternative Higher Education Practices
The Centre for Philosophy of Education at the Catholic University of Leuven is conducting a preliminary research in the frame of an international open congress called ‘Rethinking the University after Bologna: Alternative Concepts and Practices beyond Tradition and the Market’, to be held in December 2008 at the Universities of Leuven and Antwerp. The congress will be held in the context of the evaluation of the Bologna process, but it aims to investigate new ways of
conceptualizing the university as an institution and as a practice in a global higher educational space. A call for papers and workshop will be launched to fill in the concrete content of the congress. The congress aims to produce a strong and solid vision towards the future of higher education that can put forward to the European Commission and to all other establishments that are
involved with the reforms within the higher educational space.
Researchers are investigating alternative and public-directed practices. They invite everyone involved in such issues to help to identify local and non-internet linked practices. They also offer a space for discussion and documentation: a wordpress blogsite with links to alternative and public higher educational practices, divide in categories. Contributions are welcome.
