EARLI SIG 9, 2024
A warm welcome to the 2024 EARLI SIG 9 conference, held at Uppsala University in Sweden, August 21st-23rd.
We are looking forward to three stimulating days where conference participants can present and discuss research, think together around important topics related to the field, network with colleagues, and plan ahead together.
We also hope to create possibilities for new ideas and collaborations to grow – both within the developing field of phenomenography and variation theory research and in relation to other research traditions.
Conference theme
The theme for the conference is “Phenomenography and variation theory – the core, the diversity and the potential”. Phenomenography and variation theory have developed over the decades and are now theories used in several different fields and contexts, focusing on many different phenomena and subjects. As a field and a theory develops, it is worthwhile to every now and then pause and reflect on where one came from, where one is and where one is heading.
The SIG 9 conference 2024 therefore offers the opportunity to focus on the core, the diversity and the potential of our field. This includes clarifying and strengthening core concepts and ideas, discussing possibilities as well as challenges with diversity in use and application of the theories, conceptions and methodologies, and exploring the potential that lies ahead in years to come – both in terms of theory/conceptions, methodology and cooperation with other research fields.
Please note that the conference theme is only meant to inspire submissions, not limit their scope. All proposals that address any question related to phenomenography and variation theory are most welcome.
You are also welcome to register for the conference without submitting a proposal, if you just want to get to know the SIG 9 community and listen to the presentations and keynotes. This especially applies to interested students.
