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

Call for papers, panels, and poster sessions

Deadline for Abstracts 15 February 2009

This conference will bring together academic researchers, teachers and administrators as well as practitioners, professionals, policy analysts and makers in order to explore and showcase research and practice of what in North America is called ‘Service to the Community’. Although newly discovered by some universities, service to the community has a long tradition in others and, in many cases, is recognized as an explicit mandate in the university charter. Service is understood to be the third mission of universities, alongside Teaching and Research. Service and community engagement takes many different forms. Examples are community-based research and learning, assistance in regional development, continuing and community education, technology transfer, and other forms of knowledge sharing and cooperation.
