WHAT IS THE POINT OF EDUCATION IN A TIME OF EMERGENCY?

EBAN connects researchers from different disciplines and countries to explore the role and goal of knowledge distribution in times of turmoil and rapid environmental and societal changes. Our focus is on normative and epistemological consequences on education, and thus what it means to be educated. The core interest of the EBAN network is to explore how learning in and across disciplines and schools subjects can renew ideas of Bildung in the Anthropocene.

NOTE FOR CLOSING PANEL

Here is a short text as a basis for the closing panel. We hope you have the opportunity to read and provide input. The text is part of an ongoing work to frame a field of relations between Bildung and education in the Anthropocene.

• Note for closing panel

CONFERENCE TOPICS will focus on questions like:

• In what ways can Bildung during the Anthropocene, be an ideal cultivation goal to re-imagine possible futures?
• How can the dynamics between the Anthropocene, Bildung, and education be regarded, and what epistemological implications might result for education?
• In what ways can the nature of specialised knowledge in relation to the Anthropocene drive new curriculum principles and manifest in teacher transformations within and across disciplines and school subjects?

EBAN’s second Virtual international conference will further explore the role of Bildung and Subject didactics

The conference organizers will arrange for a post-conference publication. Information on plans for journal publications will be further updated.
