Summer school: Utopias, axioms and science fiction, a quest for educational imageries
16 Jun 2024 - 18 Jun 2024
The summer school aims to flesh out a new vision for a more imaginative philosophy of education and educational research, as part of a wider movement to explore and expand the potential of a post-critical approach in philosophy of education and educational theory.
It will take place in coastal Gdynia and the city of Gdansk in Poland, where participants will experiment with ways of engaging in educational imaginaries that are directly tied to participants’ own work and research topics. The summer school also offers laboratories for collective writing and workshops to explore the utopian dimension of participants' research projects.
Keynote speakers
