ProPEL International Conference | University of Stirling, 25 - 27 June 2014This conference promotes leading edge study in professional learning, practice and education - robust research that applies innovative methodologies and contemporary theories of work practice and learning to examine pressing issues related to professions and professionalisms today and for the future.This year we particularly encourage papers that explore the material or virtual ‘matters’ of professional learning. Increasingly, contemporary researchers interested in work practices, organising, cultures and subjectivities are drawing from perspectives such as relational materiality, STS, activity theory and ‘new materialisms’. What critical insights do these perspectives bring to the changing complexities of professionals’ work practices and knowledges? What questions do they open? What research methodologies and analytic strategies do they offer to help critically explore the emergent nature of professional knowing and the systems of professional work? What are their limitations, and what ethical and political sensibilities do they contribute in support of learning and change in difficult times?Beyond this focus, we welcome papers that present original, critical research exploring themes such as these in terms of implications for professional learning and education:New challenges in professional practices and professionalismsEmerging professions, knowledges, and arrangements of workDigital technologies and changing practicesInter/professional practice and learningLeadership in the professionsDiversity and inclusion in professional practicePartnership work in professional and vocational learningMigration of professionals and travelling knowledgesInnovations in assessment of professional learningReconceptualising continuing professional developmentLire la suite : CallforPapers_070513Deadline: 1st November 2013
