Call for Papers: SRHE Conference 2016

Exploring Freedom and Control in Global Higher Education

SRHE International Research Conference takes place from December 7th-9th 2016 in Newport, Wales.

SRHE Newer & Early Career Researchers Conference: December 6th

The Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) is now inviting research contributions to the 2016 SRHE International conferences. The theme for SRHE Conference 2016 is an exploration of issues around freedom and control in global higher education.  The conference theme seeks to investigate some of the tensions between freedom and control which have emerged as higher education has expanded and internationalised within a competitive market environment. What are the implications of this tension between freedom and control for those studying, working, managing and leading in higher education?  What are the key points of challenge, and what new possibilities are created? This leading international conference is highly participative, and promotes the dissemination and exchange of ideas in a variety of formats, across a range of research domains and drawing from a multi-disciplinary research base.

You are invited to contribute to this debate on any aspect of your research interests by:

• presenting a paper
• forming or participating in a symposium or ‘round table’  
• submitting a poster on any aspect of your research interests
• participating as a delegate

The linked SRHE Newer & Early Career Researchers Conference on Tuesday 6th December is aimed at postgraduate and early career/newer researchers, and provides an opportunity to share and discuss work within the higher education research community in a supportive and developmental environment.

The deadline for paper submissions for both conferences is Friday 24th June and the call for papers can be downloaded via www.srhe.ac.uk/conference2016
