‘Citizenship, Society and Social Justice: new agendas?’ Conference: 1 July
The International Centre for Education for Democratic Citizenship’s conference, ‘Citizenship, Society and Social Justice: new agendas?’, is taking place on Friday, 1 July at Birkbeck, University of London. Parliamentary Year Book is a proud supporter of the conference, which will explore the numerous feasible relationships between citizenship and education, covering formal citizenship education.
Through its plenary keynote presentations and the parallel sessions for individual papers, the conference will address matters such as: how should citizenship education engage with agendas of security, social cohesion, volunteering, patriotism, social justice both locally and in the wider world? What is the function of social networking and new media? What kinds of support do citizenship educators need?
Keynote speakers: Engin Isin, Professor of Citizenship Open University; Shakuntala Banaji, LSE; Jesse Norman MP
