DEIB+ in Education to Transform Society
March 26-28, 2024 in Chemnitz (Germany) – European capital of culture 2025
Call for Papers
Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) are key pillars in formal and informal education processes. However, although educational institutions around the globe aim to ensure future citizens equitable opportunities to live in a more resilient, openminded, inclusive, and democratic world, educational institutions are still too often inequitable and selective with direct repercussions on the possibilities to transform society. There is demand for educational research on the valorization of all facets of diversity and the critical questioning of (re)production of educational and social inequalities in different political, historical, and socioeconomic contexts. A broader approach to diversity challenges intercultural education and requires the consideration of an intersectional approach to heterogeneity and the inclusion of newly emerging issues and needs (+) in education and society.
Thus, the conference aims at cultivating international debates on DEIB+ with critically questioning Global South-Global North, Eastern and Western ideologies, and invites educational researchers to propose and discuss related theoretical, methodological, and empirical works.
