CFP Education in Global Contexts: Queen's University 2009

[Denis Salter]

Dear Colleagues

Please find below first information and call for papers for the
"INTER 2009" conference on international undergraduate education to be 
hosted
by Queen's University (Canada) International Study Centre at 
Herstmonceux Castle
in East Sussex, 27-29 July 2009.

Herstmonceux Castle was presented to Queen's University by Dr. Alfred 
Bader in 1993 with a vision for an international centre where students 
and scholars could meet as global citizens.
Please go to http://www.queensu.ca/isc for further details of the ISC.

The ISC is now part of Queen's University, Kingston, Canada hosting 
students from
Queen's and partner universities for 1 or more semesters of residential 
study in
humanities, arts and sciences.
The international dimension is clearly a key aspect of their studies and
experience, and the pedagogical-pastoral issues thus raised are intended
to be at the heart of the conference.
The conference will explore all aspects of international, liberal
undergraduate education: philosophies, programmes, best practices, 
academic and operational structures, histories and aspirations in a 
global educational environment.

Planning is still in the early stages; in the meanwhile please contact
the Executive Director, Dr. David Bevan <d_bevan at isc.queensu.ac.uk>
to whom proposals should be sent by 01 October 2008, or myself for 
further details.

John Keefe
