SUMMARY:Autobiography\, Fan Fiction\, and Education - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join the editors and contributors of Autobiography\, Fan Fiction\, and Education – due for release by Bloomsbury in September 2025 – to find out more\, and spark discussion\, about how elements of fan culture and life writing can illuminate\, and be illuminated by\, educational endeavour. More information and link to join is available below: \nAutobiography\, Fan Fiction\, and Education \nNicola Robertson and Yueling Chen (editors) \n This book illuminates the relationship between autobiography\, fan fiction\, and education via philosophical\, pedagogical\, and formative perspectives. \nHow might we consider autobiography and fan fiction writing to be educational? How can we harness the potential of fan fiction writing for pedagogical use? How does the practice of creating and consuming fan fiction/autobiographical texts support the formation of identity? This book brings together contributors from across the world to consider the answers to these questions\, and more\, with the resulting interpretations and perspectives offering something novel in the linking of these three concepts. Separated into three distinct sections\, the chapters in this book look first at philosophical perspectives\, moving on to pedagogical approaches\, and\, finally\, the role of fan fiction and autobiography in the formation of individual and social identities. The eclectic mix of arguments\, methods\, and styles aims to provide insights to readers interested in life writing\, popular culture and media studies\, and those engaged in the multiple sub-disciplines of education studies. \nThis event will take place over Zoom: \nhttps://strath.zoom.us/j/89746345814\nPasscode: 126961

SUMMARY:Poetics and Paideia: Professor Catherine Pickstock
DESCRIPTION:Strathclyde Institute of Education is delighted to welcome the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain Distinguished Lecture Series. As part of the series the Institute will host a distinguished lecture by Professor Catherine Pickstock\, Norris Hulse Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. The talk will be followed by a drinks reception. All are welcome (registration below). \nPoetics and paideia: the transmission of knowledge as production \nSeptember 1st 2025\, 17.00-19.00 \nSW105 (Stenhouse Wing)\, University of Strathclyde \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pesgb-distinguished-lecture-prof-catherine-pickstock-tickets-1420477780279?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl \nArtificial Intelligence presents education with a crisis\, that brings to the surface a deeper cultural problem. All the time we act in public and private life as if the soul\, freedom\, feeling\, beauty and goodness were real\, and yet our science seems to cast doubt on that. Indeed\, it may cast doubt even on the truth of ‘truth’ which it would itself seem to require. Meanwhile AI seems to be able to mimic or even initiate the ‘creative’ residue of human thought that we might have hoped was unique. But insofar as it does so (imperfectly for now)\, this does not imply something reductive\, but rather the reverse: as with quantum physics\, a spontaneous predilection for order apparently beyond the pre-programmed. This does not mean that machines think or are conscious\, but perhaps instead that even artificial contrivances can start to reveal that they also belong to an underlying nature that is inventive and teleological\, just as it seems to open itself up infinitely to our mental comprehension both theoretical and practical. \nIn this way and surprisingly\, computing itself (as Margaret Masterman intimated) may point us back to the poetic as irreducible. On a reductive view\, our thought just ‘represents’ given reality. In that case\, we can be replaced by dead machines and there is no point in education. In fact\, there is only any point in a humanistic education if we have souls or spirits to which nature and machines only approximate. The knowledge that is irreducible we can now see is always religious\, philosophical or poetic knowledge. This is because knowledge always has a practical dimension. Pragmatism is also speculative because to know what to do\, as an individual or a society\, we have to ask what to aim for\, and that involves an ‘impossible’ attempt to ask things like what is real\, what is the whole. There are two linked approaches to this: philosophy tries to know how all the many finite things relate to the one infinite thing. That is an impossible question\, but without it\, there is no philosophy\, which has to explain how it is that there is spirit and consciousness as well as matter. Otherwise\, if we merely collect data on passing matter and see how we can control it better\, we only need a scientific explanation. \nYet because philosophy has to ‘guess’ about the whole to a certain degree\, it also needs poetry and something like religion: it needs to recognise how the whole of reality\, ultimate truth\, discloses itself in instants and a series of instants in the life of individuals and of societies in history.  For this reason\, humanistic education\, in the wake of Plato in the case of the West\, requires literary critical reflection on poetry\, as well as philosophy. Philosophy is abstract poetry. Poetry is concrete philosophy. In the face of AI\, we can only retain a humanistic education if we put philosophy and poetry at its core and see their inseparable nature.

SUMMARY:Queer joy as method? Exploring religion\, queerness and education.
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Sean Henry (Edge Hill University) \n10th July 2025\, 4PM\, Room TL651 \nThe intersections of religion\, queerness\, and education can often be fraught for teachers and students in schools\, with discussions in this space often marked by polarising discourses and entrenched perspectives. In an effort to move beyond the risks posed by such polarisations\, the purpose of this presentation is to explore the potential role queer joy might play as a method for engaging religion\, queerness\, and education. Emphasis is placed on engaging queerness\, religion\, and education in ways that are conducive to queer and trans liberation in schools and society.  \n\nThe event is graciously sponsored by the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain (PESGB). \nAs usual\, we will go for dinner afterwards. This has to be self-paid. Please register until Monday 7th noon if you would come along so that a reservation can be made. \nEveryone is welcome to this free event\, but registration is requested\, see Eventbrite link below (for catering purposes and restaurant reservation – two different tickets): \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/queer-joy-as-method-exploring-religion-queerness-and-education-tickets-1431516918639?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:PESGB Summer School 2025
DESCRIPTION:The University of Strathclyde will be hosting the Summer School in Philosophy of Education from Monday 23 June to Friday 27 June 2025 on the John Anderson Campus in the centre of Glasgow. The Summer School involves five days of lectures\, seminar discussions and social activities. \nThe theme for the Summer School is ‘Education and Philosophy between Cultures’. Cultural and intercultural awareness\, communication and competence are at the heart of the postgraduate researcher development at universities across the sector. It is a general expectation that postgraduate research students engage beyond their conceptually and culturally familiar contexts\, to broaden their horizons and ways of thinking\, crossing borders of language and philosophical traditions when thinking about education. This expectation aligns with moves to internationalise higher education. \nAlthough inspiring\, these expectations are also challenging as they quickly expose underlying problems that accompany attempts to cross borders. English may be the lingua franca of academia offering a common tongue for human connection and economic mobility\, but this comes at a price: monolingual academic cultures and set conventions of translating (e.g. in UK universities) may not only gloss over students’ multilingual identities (and rich translingual resources)\, but also overlook the difficult art of translation itself\, e.g. when considering the historicity of concepts (and language in general). These critical challenges are central to Philosophy of Education\, whose fundamental notions or concepts – e.g. education\, or philosophy – should not be taken for granted. \nTherefore\, the 2025 Summer School at the University of Strathclyde will offer opportunities for all doctoral researchers engaging in theoretical and philosophical research in education to explore fundamental educational concepts from a methodological perspective. Particular attention will be paid to questions that interculturality poses: how do we do “philosophy of education” within and between cultures? \nStudents will explore not only the specific questions that such intercultural discussions and encounters create\, but they will also be given opportunities to formulate responses. Beginning with a more methodological exploration into intercultural philosophical work on the first day\, over the course of five days\, participants will engage in specific aspects of this field.
