The Fifth CESI International Conference: Education, Politics and Social Change is co-hosted by Gargi College, Institute of Home Economics, and Regional Resource Centre for Elementary Education (RRCEE), University of Delhi, India from November 16-18, 2014.
Purpose:
Given the complex web of education within the wider structures of society, it also stands as an entity through which larger societal concerns and changes can be examined. CESI 2014 invites theoretical and empirical papers that wish to explore the relationship of education with politics and social change. For concept note, please click here.
Submission:
Extended abstracts are invited for the Conference theme ‘Education, Politics and Social Change’. The concept note for the Conference and the sub-themes are suggestive of the kind of topics that may be chosen to be presented at the Conference. An extended abstract is around 1500 words and should aim to give a detailed idea of the themes that will finally comprise the body of the full paper. The title of the abstract must be concise and be able to clearly identify the nature of study that has been undertaken. The language of the abstract should be crisp and there should be no unnecessary repetition of ideas. The empirical research based abstracts must provide a clear idea of the key theoretical concepts, methodology and the main research findings. The papers should be original. The extended abstracts will be peer reviewed and those individuals whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to submit the full paper.
