[Xmca-l] Re: Exploration survey: An Online international conference on Dialogic Pedagogy

[Alfredo Jornet Gil]

Thanks for the initiative, very timely! I’ve been puzzled by and have had contradictory feelings about this tendency to postponing all conferences for later. On the one hand, I totally empathize with the move to give us time and space to deal with much urgent matters, from caring and educating children 24/7, to shifting all professional work online and in the after hours, to helping those in worse situations, to mourning the lives lost… On the other hand, however, is this not precisely the time that (at least some) conferences could take the chance and try open, inexpensive, environmentally friendly forms of participation that would give access to many at a time in which cultivating creativity and imagination is most precious?

Good luck with your poll and initiative,
Alfredo

Subject: [Xmca-l] Exploration survey: An Online international conference on Dialogic Pedagogy


Dear XMCA members,
Greeting from Philadelphia! We are holding on in this pandemic as everyone else – with trepidation about the pandemic and a great hope that the Coronavirus-19 will be soon reined in to become a manageable disease like the other ones that were conquered in the past.

As the world is changing, and almost all of our professional conferences have been cancelled for this year, here at the Dialogic Pedagogy Journal (DPJ), we are exploring ways to hold a conferences at a distance, to keep open our dialogues and exchange thoughts on our research and teaching practices.

The DPJ Organizational Committee would like to explore if there is enough interest in The Dialogic Pedagogy online conference among educational scholars and/or practitioners. So, we would like to ask you to fill out the following short survey: https://delaware.ca1.qualtrics.com/…/form/SV_bK1IudyShhLehFj<https://delaware.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bK1IudyShhLehFj?fbclid=IwAR1PNcDGVp15NXVE9uQelVMUDuuI44rFm8VinmZnKiSc_rg-a9vCk0brRGE>

Thanks,
DP Online Conference Org Committee
PS Feel free to pass this survey to your colleagues who might be interested.
