Call for Papers: Special Issue on Green Pedagogies: Ecology, Green Education and the Classroom (Guest Editor: Dr Sayan Dey)

January 10, 2024

Guest Editor: Dr Sayan Dey

Concept Note: 

The alarming rise in climate and environmental catastrophes has been consistently reminding us that transformation initiatives at the level of institutional policy making and radical governmentalities are not sufficient. Also, what is widely observed is that at times the policies are often fraudulent in nature, because in the name of building ecological consciousness, they often end up appeasing the self-profiting desires of blindfolded capitalistic enterprises. For instance, false reports of ecological safety and security were prepared by the then Indian government and a US-based organization to establish a carbide gas plant in Bhopal (the capital city of Madhya Pradesh), which eventually leaked in 1984 and generated a devastative impact on both the humans and the natural environment. In the name of development, growth and ecological balance, through compromising with the forest and environmental laws, several forest lands have been confiscated by local governing bodies and private organizations for constructing factories and industries in Odisha, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Arunachal Pradesh and various other parts of India. In 2022, with due permission of the local government, Shell wanted to conduct seismic survey in the coastal regions of Cape Town in South Africa to see the possibility of constructing oil and gas pipelines below the sea. Though, with the intervention of various environmental and coastal communities the survey was stalled by court order, yet, what was alarming was how much effort it took to make Shell, the government, and other profitmaking enterprises understand the disastrous ecological consequences of conducting such experiments. These scenarios provoke us to explore the various ways in which these issues can be addressed at varied grassroot levels and one of the many ways of doing is to dismantle the capitalistic curriculums and pedagogies and co-build green curricular and pedagogical spaces.

To explain further, it is crucial for the educational institutions to generate curricular and pedagogical changes in such ways so that the teachers and the learners can integrate indigenous eco-centric knowledge values, not just as text books in syllabuses, but also in practical ways through hands-on-experience. In fact, many educational initiatives like the Green School Education System in Bhutan, Kaupapa Maori education system in New Zealand, Happiness Curriculum in New Delhi, the green educational systems in Kenya, and others have been forging curriculums and pedagogies that gives first-hand teaching-learning experiences with (and also within) the natural environment. However, there is still a lack of a planetary collaboration to introduce such systems of knowledge production because of lack of realizations, socioeconomic skepticisms, dictatorial functional procedures of academic and other knowledge producing institutions, and the surveillance and censorships of capitalistic governmentalities.

With respect to these arguments, the special issue looks forward to receive praxis-based research articles on the following subthemes (not limited to):

  • Indigenous knowledge systems and curriculum building: The contribution of indigenous knowledge systems towards present-day curriculum-making procedures.
  • Decentralizing curriculums and pedagogies: Decentralizing curriculums and pedagogies in schools and higher education institutions with respect to the knowledge-making patterns of the natural environment.
  • Activisms and praxis-based learning systems: The roles that activists and indigenous community elders can play towards shaping praxis-based eco-centric education systems across the globe.
  • Artificial Intelligence and eco-centric knowledge systems: The possibilities that Artificial Intelligence can play towards rebuilding the collaborative knowledge-making systems between human and more-than-human-beings.
  • Anthropocentrism, posthumanism and eco-centric pedagogies: The ways in which the paradigms of anthropocentrism and posthumanism may contribute towards shaping the planetary consciousness of building environment friendly curriculums and pedagogies.
  • Natural environment as a pedagogical site: Trying to think through natural components like oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, forests, animals, plants, and seasons as possible agencies of building nature-based teaching and learning systems.
  • Eco-centric educational infrastructures – Challenges and Possibilities: Engaging with the infrastructural capacities of different educational institutions to engage with eco-centric praxis-based education system and what are the underlying possibilities and challenges.
  • Building eco-centric pedagogies across disciplines: Understanding the different possibilities of building eco-centric pedagogies across diverse disciplines through institution-based case studies.
  • Science and Technology Studies and Eco-centrism: Analyzing the different theories and methods through which the knowledge-making systems of sciences and technologies can be co-developed with the functional patterns of the natural environment, rather than destroying, expropriating and erasing them.

Submissions are invited in the forms of research articles and can be made by scholars, activists and scholar-activists, who are independent thinkers/researchers/practitioners, postgraduate students, PhD scholars, postdoctoral scholars and faculty members.

Timelines of Submissions:

Abstract: 31st March 2024 (250-300 words)

Call for Papers: Special Issue on Digital Disruption in Management Education

August 9, 2023

The convergence of technology and globalisation continues to demand changes that will be, in any sense, global in their scope and in their implications for management education. The overlapping impact of hybrid work, e-learning and the rise of artificial intelligence will transform education, the construction and delivery of the student experience and indeed, the value of the core assumptions that constitute our understanding of quality in education. As we stand on the cusp of these changes, a host of questions surely arise. Such questions include but are certainly not limited to the following:

Will digital technology widen participation and increase social mobility, as many hope, or will it, in fact, create a two-tier system of education? Do we now occupy a world where standardised online programmes are for the many and face-to-face teaching becomes a premium experience for the chosen few?

What will be the impact of emerging technologies like ChatGPT and other variants of AI for both teaching staff and students?

How will digital technology redefine the role of universities and other providers of higher education?

Beyond the traditional institutions of higher education, how is technology changing the design and delivery of management learning?

For this special issue of the Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching, we invite contributions that address the challenges for management practice, education and learning that arise due to digital disruption. Contributors are, of course, free to navigate their own route through and within these issues and around the dilemmas that they pose for educators and for policy-makers. Nonetheless, we welcome contributions which :

● Explore the rise of online and hybrid learning programmes.
● Examine the impact of digital learning tools.
● Consider how government and accreditation bodies are evolving policies to keep pace (or not) with digital change.
● Examine how digital technology is changing the learning experience itself for both learners and teaching staff.
● Reach beyond the institutions of education themselves and consider how digital disruption is changing relationships with wider economies and societies.

The purpose of this special issue is to collate a collection of articles which become reference points for understanding the impact of digital disruption now and how we should think about it when designing future learning programmes and strategies.

The guest Editor of this special issue is Dr. Andrew Taylor. He has co-authored and edited five books around digital change and sustainability and has a single-authored executive guide to disruption due out at the end of the year. As Managing Director of a management training and development company (Connect CEE) since 2000 and Managing Director of a not-for-profit foundation (Transilvania Executive Education) that delivers an executive MBA in Romania (validated by Buckingham University), Andrew is deeply immersed in blurring the boundaries of management learning.

We are looking for papers of 4-8000 words length to be submitted by 1st October 2024. We are looking for all types of papers, but preference will be given to research-led work. Please see the below link for guidance:

Introduction

The Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching (JALT) is pleased to announce a forthcoming special issue on “Kindness in Higher Education: Fostering the Human(e) Element of Teaching and Learning”. This issue aims to explore the essential aspects of Garrison’s (2016) Community of Inquiry model, with a specific focus on the three forms of ‘presence’: social, cognitive, and teaching. We seek to investigate how these elements play a pivotal role in fostering productive and meaningful learning experiences in diverse higher education settings while embracing and nurturing the humane aspect of education. Theme and Scope As the landscape of higher education undergoes a transition back to full on-campus, online, and hybrid teaching environments, the challenge of cultivating purposeful pedagogies, enhancing student engagement, and implementing authentic assessment methodologies becomes ever more critical. This special issue is designed to synthesise contemporary research, insightful analysis, debates, and provocations centred around the theme of fostering humane, socially present learning environments.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Social presence and learning outcomes: Exploring the impact of social presence on student engagement, collaboration, and learning outcomes in various higher education settings.

Cognitive presence and pedagogical strategies: Investigating the relationship between cognitive presence and effective pedagogical approaches that promote deep learning and critical thinking.

Facilitating teaching presence in hybrid and online settings: Examining the role of teaching presence in hybrid and online courses, and its impact on the quality of instruction and student learning experiences.

Authentic assessment techniques: Presenting innovative assessment methods that align with authentic learning experiences, promoting a deeper understanding of course content.

Humanising learning environments: Discussing strategies for creating inclusive and empathetic learning spaces that value and respect individual learner identities and experiences.

Student perspectives on social and cognitive presence: Inquiring into students’ perspectives on the importance of social and cognitive presence in their learning journey.

Leadership in higher education and learning environment design: Analysing the role of institutional leaders in fostering socially and cognitively rich learning settings.

For any inquiries or further information regarding the special issue, please contact Dr Fiona Tang at fiona.tang@kbs.edu.au

The debacle surrounding “Game Stop” in early 2021 was extraordinary, a moment where instruments and processes of contemporary finance entered popular culture and discourse in ways that are rarely seen. From the dynamics of short-selling to conflicts between small investors and larger brokerages, to the abandonment of the traditional retail sector to gamifcation and memeifcation of financial transactions. These events were for many a “learning moment” in the sense of bringing to light dynamics that were far less visible before.

If this was indeed a learning moment, what have we learned? What lessons might be learned for finance education? What can we make of these dynamics for rethinking approaches to teaching and learning today? Both in the sense of financial education itself, but also in the broader sense of teaching and learning itself is deeply embedded in what Randy Martin theorized as the “financialization of everyday life”?

Over many years, there has emerged a rich tradition of alternative education practices, from the ideas and practices of Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich, to the formation of free schools and non-institutional forms of organized self-education. These educational alternatives are built upon a foundation of deep learning, as participants take part out of an interest or enthusiasm for the topic, rather than as a means to attain a qualification or degree. The symposium will explore these approaches to applied teaching and learning.
