Past event
We used an umbrella theme of ‘Beyond ‘Navel Gazing’ (Tummons 2007): Autoethnography as a Catalyst for Change’ to anchor all activities during the next year. This theme is flexible and adaptable enough to accommodate emergent ideas and projects.
Using this theme all members are invited to reflect on their work, research and experiences in education to consider what activities they have engaged with, how those activities have impacted on their practice, what outcomes have occurred and what impact this has had on their personal and professional practice. Please bring your ideas, suggestions and thoughts to the Virtual May event where we will discuss and plan the Virtual July Forum which will be used to share our work and projects. You will also be invited to write a BERA blog based on your project which will be part of a BERA blog series.

Please note these are linked events and in and will be over 2 dates. Participants will need to have attended the May event to attend the July event.
