The International Academic Forum in conjunction

Fourth Annual Asian Conference on Education, to be

Call for Papers Now Open: Abstract Submissions
Deadline July 1 2012
The Asian Conference on Education is an
interdisciplinary international conference that
invites academics and independent scholars and
researchers from around the world to meet and
exchange the latest ideas and views in a forum
encouraging respectful dialogue. Since its
inception in 2009, ACE has welcomed over one
thousand academics and practitioners to its annual
Osaka event. The 2012 conference will afford the
opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making
new contacts, and networking across higher
education. Academics working in Japan and Asia
will be encouraged to forge working relationships
with each other, as well as with colleagues from
Europe and the US, facilitating partnerships
across borders.
Conference Theme: Learning and Teaching Through
Transformative Spaces
As previous Asian Conferences on Education have
shown, education and lifelong learning can be seen
as a solution to a host of local and global
problems whilst globalized education systems are
becoming increasing socially, ethnically and
culturally diverse. Nevertheless, knowledge is
often defined through discourses embedded in
Western paradigms, whilst globalised education
systems become increasingly determined by dominant
knowledge economies.
The Fourth Asian Conference on Education extends
these discussions to consider the pedagogic
challenges of developing transformative spaces for
learning and teaching. The conference organizers
encourage submissions that consider learning and
teaching through one of the following sub-themes,
although submission of other topics for
consideration is also welcome:
- Challenges and transformations in learning and teaching
- Virtual spaces: digital technologies and communications
- Connections and disconnections in learning and teaching
- Learning and teaching in glocal spaces of transformation
- Space, Architecture and Learning
- Global education and education for sustainable development
- 'Englishes' and cultural communications
- (Inter)cultural communications and understanding:
challenging and preserving cultural differences
- Leadership in in learning and teaching
- Bi-cultural, bilingual and bi-national education

We hope to see you (again) in Osaka in 2012!
