Diversity within Classroomsand Societies

This joint conference aims to highlight the relevance of teachers for moral and democratic education and the importance of moral and democratic education for teachers’ professional development. Both SIGs are engaged in addressing diversity as a significant matter in classrooms and societies. Therefore, the conference motto is ‘Diversity within Classrooms and Societies’. In collaborating with the two SIG communities, the MOFET Institute aims to develop unique and relevant perspectives on the academic and practical implications of diversity. However, contributions are not limited to this motto alone. We welcome all research related to the SIG 11 ‘Teaching and Teacher Education’ and SIG 13 ‘Moral and Democratic Education’. Young researchers are especially invited to participate and join the JURE network, and we encourage experienced researchers to include their doctoral students. Half a day of the conference will be exclusively dedicated to JURE members. In addition to the two keynote presentations by experts in the field, a Maslovaty-Award-presentation (SIG13) and a Jure-Keynote (SIG11) will be highlighted at the conference. We invite you to submit proposals for Roundtables, Posters, Paper sessions and Symposia and are very much looking forward to your contributions.

The conference formats are Roundtable, Poster, Paper presentation and symposia. If you plan a hybrid or online session, please tick the respective box during the submission process. We can’t promise this possibility but we will do our best to accept requests of this kind. If you are a JURE member and want to be considered for the JURE Keynote, please tick the appropriate box during the submission process of a paper.
