The British Association for International and Comparative Education (BAICE) Annual Conference 2008 will be hosted by the Department of Adult and Continuing Education, Scotland.  In this conference the theme of internationalisation and its multiple meanings wil be explored for governments, universities, futher education providers, schools and other education agencies.   To what degree is internationlisation merely a convenient label for the commercial exploitation of education? Does internationlisation mean the same as globalisation?  How is local culure compromised or enhanced by an emphasis on international education?  How is difference configured into an international social, cultural, economic and eudcational agenda?  Is the idea of social justice subservient to economic considerations in internationalisation discourse?  These and other related questions will be explored throughout this 2008 Conference.  For further details please visit: http://www.baice.ac.uk/events/forthcoming_events.shtml

Deadline for abstract submission of non-referreed papers and posters is 30th October 2008.  All the papers will be evaluated for scientifc publication.

About the Conference

The conference focuses on the possible contribution of towns to rural development by acting as a place of knowledge creation and diffusion in order to avoid processes of decline and promote a geographically balanced and sustainable development in rural areas. An important question related to this is how to take advantage of the potential of towns and rural areas and how to increase their competitiveness, encouraging their advantages over more urbanized areas. Important issues are for example the challenges created by learning and knowledge diffusion in towns and rural areas, the potential of towns in bottom-up policies such as the Leader+ approach, the importance of knowledge in rural areas and the function of towns in rural-urban (knowledge) networks.

Biography, memory, narrative and knowledge are very crucial issues in the field of education, in the study and experiences of lifewide and lifelong learning, and in adult life as a whole. They are studied as objects, processes or focuses, that enable us to understand the way people learn, the choices they make (including how these may be structured), the role and nature of story, and how they make sense of and compose meaning in their lives (as well as our own). They are the main focus of our research. Auto/biographic and life history approaches are the common ground for the ESREA network on Life History and Biographical Research.
