Hello all --
This was forwarded to me and seems of interest to the group, especially in
relationn to recent discussions of formal/informal learning, so I
thought I would pass it along.

> "SITES OF LEARNING"

> Dennison Centre, University of Hull
>
> This conference address the theme of children's learning in
> and across a diverse range of social settings - home,
> school, playground, street, media and Internet. The aim is
> to broaden the conventional understanding of learning as
> the formal structures and system of the school by bringing
> attention to the potentials and resources that children
> draw on and contribute to in their everyday lives. In the
> call for papers we particularly welcome contributions that
> focus on the different forms, modes and processes that
> children engage with and make use of among themselves and
> in interaction with adults. The aim of the conference is
> also to bring researchers engaged with the social study of
> children together to discuss whether and how children's own
> forms of production of knowledge and social experience can
> be better integrated and developed in formal learning.
>
> * The transfer and exchange of knowledge by
> children across and between different sites - between home,
> school and street between siblings at home; between peers
