“Starting With Ourselves”: Perspectives From the Transformative Education/al Studies Project
Sat, April 14, 8:15 to 9:45am, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Third Level, West Room 305Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
Higher Education in South Africa is characterised by a range of challenges. The Transformative Education/al Studies (TES) project brings into dialogue a number of practitioner-research studies that respond to these challenges. The overarching research question --“How do I transform my education/al practice as ….?” – is adapted for each participant’s educational context, giving rise to a range of responses and insights. This symposium will provide an opportunity to engage with a variety of participant perspectives from the TES project. The objectives of the session are to make public education/al knowledge engendered by the TES project and to illustrate how participation in the process of this self-study of practice research project actually changes its practitioners and their education/al practice and contexts.
