25 April – 2 May 2021: NORRAG at CIES 2021 “Social Responsibility within Changing Contexts”
NORRAG and its network members will participate in this year’s Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) Annual Conference which will take place virtually from April 25 to May 2, 2021. This year’s theme, Social Responsibility within Changing Contexts, emphasizes the transformation in cultural values, economic/political agendas, and environmental challenges surrounding education. New, non-state actors are becoming more involved. We must revisit the relationships among these contexts, actors, and our own collective social responsibility.
NORRAG representatives will be presenting during 7 panel discussions and 2 paper sessions (detailed below). Additionally, we will be hosting the NORRAG CIES 2021 Reception on Wednesday, 28 April from 2:30am – 4:00am CEST.
