ECE/ECLL/ECTC 2014 Programme Cover Image:“The Royal Pavillion” by Jim Haldane

The spectacular seaside palace of the Prince Regent (George IV) was transformed by John Nash between 1815
and 1822 into one of the most dazzling and exotic buildings in the British Isles. The Pavilion houses furniture andworks of art including original pieces lent by the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, and a magnificent displayof Regency silver-gilt.The Royal Pavilion Tearoom, with its fabulous balcony, overlooks the Pavilion gardens, whichhave also been returned to their original Regency splendour. The site continued as a royal residence until thetime of Queen Victoria, who had the contents of the Pavilion moved to London or sold. The whole estate waspurchased by Brighton in 1850 to be used as public assembly rooms and gardens.
Multimedia guides in various languages are available free to all visitors.
Open daily during July 09:30 - 17:30. Admission for adults is 11GBP.

welcome to brighton
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to the UK and to the wonderful city of Brighton & Hove, a vibrant and diverse center of the arts and culture, as well
as home to two universities. Welcome to the conference home of the International Academic Forum’s European Conference
Series.
An International Academic Forum (IAFOR) conference is an international, interdisciplinary, intercultural and inter-professional
event that invites academics, practitioners, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet, network, share intellectual
developments, explore challenges to dominant paradigms, and exchange ideas in a supportive environment.

IAFOR provides an international academic forum that encourages the development of collaborative links and connections
between researchers, academics, scholars and practitioners, and I strongly encourage your active and open-minded engagementwith the conference over this long weekend together.
These joint conferences are held as part of four interdisciplinary weekends for IAFOR in the UK, and the programme
promises to be exciting, with thematic topics that address the central international, intercultural and interdisciplinary aims ofthe conference in different but complementary ways, including through papers that draw on empirical research, that develop
theoretical and conceptual insights, and that engage with education, teaching and learning from varied research approaches.
The conference will be enhanced through its wide variety of presenters, who will draw on their diverse experiences andknowledges, and on their academic, personal and geographical contexts, in a programme that promises stimulating andchallenging discussion, intellectual discovery, and the generation of new knowledge.
This weekend we are more than 250 delegates from over 40 countries, as we come together to seek insights and answers
from each other in search of multidisciplinary research synergies.
I would like to thank the conference chairs and the keynote and featured speakers, as well as each and every delegate, and I
look forward to meeting you all.
Respectfully

letter of welcome

Keynote Speech -Transforming Pedagogical Spaces: Knowledge, Becoming and Belonging

Keynote Speech
Thursday, July 10, 201409:15-10:00
Renaissance Suitexix

In this keynote, I explore possibilities for developing ‘transformative pedagogies’ in higher education. This is connected
to a broader project of social justice in relation to the politics of knowledge, belonging and recognition. Transformative
pedagogies understand curriculum and assessment as part of teaching and learning processes and frameworks, not as
separate entities.Thus, transformative pedagogies are concerned not only with teaching and learning practices but alsowith the ways that certain forms of knowledge and identity are often privileged in higher education, whilst others are
marginalised.Transformative pedagogies draw on the seminal work of Paulo Freire in his critique of ‘banking education’as a form of domination. Freire suggested that dialogic and democratic approaches to education are potentiallytransformative, by creating opportunities to reshape knowledge in collaboration with those whose experiences
have often been socially, culturally and historically excluded. At the same time, transformative pedagogies aim to
grapple with the complexity of power as unpredictable, shifting and struggled over, and always tied to struggles overknowledge, becoming and belonging. Although power operates in deeply regulatory ways, it is also tied to structuraland intersecting inequalities and identities (such as age, class, gender and ‘race’), as well as generative possibilities ofresistance, redistribution and reconstruction. This keynote will draw on these perspectives to explore the possibilities
for changing pedagogical spaces in higher education, taking into account the significant constraints posed by theincreasing dominance of neoliberalism

Keynote Speech - Decolonizing Pedagogies: Black feminist reflections on teaching race, faith and culture in higher
education
In this keynote I draw on black and postcolonial feminist perspectives to explore ways in which professional blackand female academics engage in ‘embodied’ work towards decolonizing dominant regimes of ‘diversity’ in higher
education. In the context of the significant numbers of Muslim, Black and Asian students who are now entering British
higher education I unpack the ways in which ‘just being there’ creates unsettling spaces of contestation in our still
overwhelmingly white and male universities. Drawing on my research on the pedagogic practices of teacher educatorsand their dilemmas of teaching race, faith and culture, I explore the challenging and difficult concepts of ‘white hurt’and ‘spaces of safety’ which offers us the radical possibility of transcending the ‘stuck’ institutional discourses of ‘race
equality’ and ‘social inclusion’ that dominate higher education.

In an effort to address a significant shortage of women in the IT industry in the Appalachian region, the Appalachian
Information Technology Extension Services (AITES) Project funded by the National Science Foundation (GSE/EXT
0832913) works with communities within this geographic area to promote girls’ interest in and awareness of IT jobs. One
aspect of the AITES project involves the development of an interactive web-based game entitled “IT Career Pathways”.
This game uses a contextualized approach to engage, educate, and support individuals that work with middle and highschool girls. The game is situated in the Appalachian region and leads participants on a bike trail to complete “challenges”
designed to assess skills, interests, or preferences important in many IT careers. Customizing IT career education throughthis online game creates a relevant and motivational learning experience for girls and their mentors.

Materials available to language teachers are sophisticated and various, but to get the best out of them, you need toengage your students’ interest.This isn’t always easy, especially if they are at the end of a long, hard week or ‘aren’t in the
mood’. At times like this, you need to challenge them, make them curious and/or encourage them to be imaginative.
Sometimes you simply have to find out what they’re good at or even give them responsibility for what happens in theclass. Often, giving them a team-task can inspire renewed engagement with the lesson. In this talk, I will suggest ten waysthat you can engage their interest and access their knowledge. It’s all there, waiting to be exploited.

including French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Polish. Linden co-coordinates a European Life History and BiographicalResearch Network and is also a qualified psychoanalytical psychotherapist.

Featured Presentation - ‘Transforming learning, selves and institutions: student narratives from European
biographical research’.
This presentation draws on recently completed auto/biographical, narrative research into the experiences of samplesof non-traditional learners in universities, across 7 European countries. The project – RANLHE (Access and Retentionof non-traditional learners in Higher Education) - illuminated, longitudinally, experiences of diverse groups of learners
through their eyes (‘non-traditional’ encompassed factors such as class, age, ethnicity, disability, gender etc., and theirintersections), as well as the eyes of some of the lecturers with whom they interacted. The study developed aninterdisciplinary, psychosocial interpretive framework, including the work of Pierre Bourdieu (in relation to the social
reproduction function of universities, and the concepts of habitus and capital); of Donald Winnicott and his notions oftransitional space and self-negotiation; as well as of Axel Honneth and his theory of recognition. Barbara and Linden
will discuss processes of transition, transformation - drawing on particular narratives – as well as the potential of
auto/biographical narrative research to illuminate the complexity of student experience and ‘voice’. They suggest thattransformative learning is a deeply intersubjective, embodied, narrative and, at times, fragile process, in which students
can shape the habitus of the university as well as it shaping them.

iafor“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The International Academic Forum provides new perspectives to the thought-leaders and decisionmakers of today and tomorrow by offering constructive environments for dialogue and interchange at theintersections of nation, culture, and discipline. Headquartered in Nagoya, Japan, and registered as a NonProfit Organization (一般社団法人) , IAFOR is an independent think tank committed to the deeper
understanding of contemporary geo-political transformation, particularly in the Asia Pacific Region.

IAFORThe International Academic Forum
Academic Vision and Mission“To Open Minds, To Educate Intelligence, To Inform Decisions”
The vision of IAFOR grew out of the perceived need to fill a vacuum in the communication and exchange activities of the academic
world. Its mission arose out of examining that space and investigating why it existed. The vacuum existed because of the lack ofopportunity for serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners
in the fields of human endeavor that linked these groups together. In the field of education, for example, we have academic theorists,
educational managers (political decision-makers and organizational directors) and classroom teachers with their support staff in IT,
library work, exchange programs, and specialist fields. But how often do they have the opportunity to interact?
Moving beyond one particular field, larger questions arise. What function should universities prioritize in the 21st century? What
do businesses see as their contribution to social and global well being? How can people on the ground, trying to implement
improvements that will transform human life, best be supported? And perhaps above all, what are the agendas that will drive
mechanisms to enable these groups to interact effectively.
One piece of distilled thought that came from early exchanges at one of our conferences was the recognition that some of therhetoric of concern about the problems of developing nations was perhaps over-focused on the term “poverty” because it can be
defined only in a relative way. “Hunger” was put forward as being more immediate and itself a contributory factor to poverty, rather
than the other way round. One key to the hunger issue could be the provision of safe drinking water, or water for irrigation in somecontexts, while flood management might be necessary elsewhere. These, in and by themselves become valuable only insofar as they
help to relieve hunger in specific contexts.
IAFOR is affording opportunities that do not exist elsewhere. The base is Osaka, Japan’s great commercial and manufacturing hub,
one symbol of the emerging Pacific economy that is already eclipsing the long dominant Atlantic zone. Our conferences present
those taking part with three unique dimensions of experience. First of all, it encourages interdisciplinary activity to be expanded.
Depending on the field, this can face varying degrees of difficulty, ranging from discouragement to downright prohibition. Those
overly dependent on fixed academic structures often see lateral thinking as a threat. None of these negatives apply in IAFOR. Its
purpose is to generate new approaches that cross any disciplinary lines. The principle employed is to let the imagination permit
intuitive responses to questions. There are no panels of critics. There are simply people who want to listen and reflect. The model ofacademic work as potholing is replaced by the metaphor of mountaineering. While respecting the need for solid and well-founded
academic work, we feel the need to go beyond it from time to time to discover fresh approaches to old questions.
Secondly, it facilitates the heightening of intercultural awareness. Again, we encourage innovation through cross-cultural perception.
Cultural roots influence people in their attitudes more than most would realize or admit. The need to see and internalize insights
gained from other viewpoints is met by a process of steady illumination.
Thirdly, it promotes the broadening of international exchange. We may live in a globalized world, but in reality parochialism still holds
sway. The collapse of the U.S.S.R and the break-up of Yugoslavia led to the re-establishment of numerous former countries. While
this may be desirable for the peoples concerned, it merely adds to the world’s cultural confusion. Exchange leads to explanation andthat helps the growth of intercultural awareness.
IAFOR makes all of these developments possible in one gathering. Our conferences are not a substitute for specialist conferences.
We intend our events to be an alternative that functions as a balance or even a corrective to the extreme tendencies that can arise
from more narrowly defined research parameters. In short, IAFOR is promoting and facilitating a new multifaceted approach to oneof the core issues of our time, namely globalization and its many forms of growth and expansion. Awareness of how it cuts acrossthe worlds of business, and academia, along with its impact on societies and institutions is one of the driving forces that has given
the organization its momentum, and is making it a pioneer in this global age.

IAFOR Journals
The International Academic Forum’s Journals conform to the highest academic standards ofinternational peer review, and are published in accordance with the IAFOR publishing commitment
to make all of our published materials available online.
Journals FAQ

IAFOR’s Open AccessPublishing Committment
IAFOR is committed to providing
ALL of its publications in online form
for no fee.
Researchers and scholars, regardlessof institutional affiliation and status,
can access our academic journals,
monographs, magazine, conferencematerials and special publications
for no charge, wherever there isinternet access.
IAFOR will never ask authors tocontribute towards publication costs,
or engage in other such publishingpractices which we believe
undermine academic independence
and integrity.

How are journal editors appointed?
Journal Editors are appointed by the International Academic Forum’s leadership, under the guidanceof the Chairman of the International Advisory Board. The term of appointment is for one issue, tobe renewed by mutual consent.
How do we ensure academic integrity?
Once appointed, the editor is free to appoint his or her own editorial team and advisory members.
All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processesof academic peer review. Neither editors nor members of the editorial team are remunerated fortheir work. Authors will never be asked to “contribute” towards publication costs.
How are papers selected?
Journal Editors may accept papers through an open call, and proposed articles may be sent directly
to the respective editors. A small number of papers from the associated IAFOR conference
proceedings may also be selected by the journal editor(s) for reworking and revising subject tonormal processes of review. It is expected that between 5 and 10 percent of papers included inany given conference proceedings will be developed for inclusion in the associated conference
journal.
How are IAFOR Journals related to IAFOR conferences?
IAFOR’s journals reflect the interdisciplinary and international nature of our conferences andare organized thematically. Papers included in the associated conference proceedings may beconsidered for reworking by the editor(s), and would then be subjected to the same processes ofpeer review as papers submitted by other means.

IAFOR Keynotes
The IAFOR Keynotes Series is a collection of keynote addresses, or associated papers given at
our conferences. Presented as a part of the open research archive, the Keynotes series provides
an example of the range and quality of speakers at IAFOR events. These keynotes are lightly
reworked, and contain references, but are otherwise true to the original address. Many can also
be seen in video format on our YouTube page. Whether you were present at the conferenceor not, the keynotes are thoughtful addresses by senior academics, the content of which may
help your research.

Special Series & Monographs
The International Academic Forum is publishing a number of special
monographs in print and online form. One such publication is aselection of haiku from the Annual Vladimir Devidé Haiku Award.
