Turning Learning Upside Down
Learning and Teaching Beyond the Classroom

The Public Pedagogies Institute invites contributions for our 2017 conference:

Turning Learning Upside Down
Footscray, Melbourne
23rd – 24th November, 2017

We understand public pedagogies to be the many sites in which teaching and learning occurs in the community and outside formal institutions. These may include museums, libraries, neighbourhood houses and community centres as well as in the arts, through community engagement and public history.

This conference seeks to engage people who participate in learning and teaching in practice, research and the evaluation of public pedagogies and presents a platform for exchange on the challenges, achievements and best practice in this field.

We welcome and invite a range of submissions – informal presentations, academic papers, workshops, screenings – and encourage a diversity of sectors to participate in two days of ideas-sharing and networking.

Submissions of no more than 300 words will be accepted up until Friday 25 August. All submissions should be accompanied by an up to 100 word biographical note.

Please send submissions by 5pm Friday 22 September.

Please contact karen.charman@vu.edu.au for more information or to make a submission.
