The Robert Owen Centre for Educational change would like to  invite you to a lunchtime  seminar (12.00- 1.30) on the  7th of April.  Professor Andreas Fejes from Linkoping University Sweden will deliver a talk, " Citizenship education, democracy and the Market".

Citizen Education is not only a matter of knowledge and skills provision;but it is also about the shaping of desirable citizen subjectivities . Education is characterized by an ambition to secure two historically established principles; that of democracy and that of the market. These two principles interact and mobilize both collective and individually oriented notions of what it means to be a citizen in different educational levels. Although not exclusive, the former can be seen as more collective and the latter more individually adapted in this respect. The seminar looks at how these tensions playout in contemporary Swedish adult education.

See flier for more details.  The Event will take place in room 337 STAB.

All are welcome and I would be grateful if you would register your attendance to [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you there
