The 49th Annual Meeting of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) will be hosted by Stanford University School of Education's International and Comparative Education Program.
This year's meeting is organized around the theme, "Beyond Dichotomies." This theme is meant to stimulate thought about the meaning of the many oppositions that academics create to discuss theory and practice. The CIES conference will try to take on a number of conventional dichotomies in international and comparative education, such as Globalization versus Localism, Government versus Non-Government, Theory versus Practice, and Traditional vs. Non-traditional Education.
Highlights include:
This year's Eggersten Lecture will be given by Dr. Nelly Stromquist, Professor of Education at University of Southern California, who will address issues of girls' education. Dr. Stromquist's lecture will take place on Wednesday, March 23, from 12:00-1:30 PM in the Cubberley School of Education Auditorium as part of the Gender Symposium "Promoting and Deconstructing Gender Equality in Education in 2005: Issues and Challenges."
The 2005 Kneller Lecture will be given by Dr. Weifang Min, Provost, Executive Vice President and Professor of Economics of Education at Peking University. Dr. Min initiated and implemented a series of reforms at Peking University in overall operations, financing higher education, curriculum and teaching and learning, personnel policy, and faculty development. Dr. Min will present on Thursday, March 24 from 5:30-7:00 PM in the Cubberley School of Education Auditorium.
