Upcoming event
This online event is a collaboration between the BERA Digital Education and Philosophy of Education SIGs. We aim to create a dynamic space for postgraduate students and early career researchers to share work in progress papers, engage in discussion, and build links with other researchers.
Abstracts of 200 words max. are invited from BERA members across disciplines and at any career stage.
Successful submissions will be presented at the event as a 15-20 minute work in progress paper. Each presentation will be followed by questions from participants and discussion to provide constructive feedback and professional development.
Priority will be given to postgraduate students and early career researchers.
The format is designed to be interactive, supportive, and generative, while also ensuring that participants do not feel pressured to present detailed, finished papers or research.
Potential themes include:
Members of both SIGs will be invited to join SIG Convenors to peer review abstract submissions.
The deadline for submissions is: 29th March
Outcomes will be communicated by: 12th April
