During the first two days of the institute, participants will workshop
each other's papers in internal sessions with Educational Theory
staff. The institute will culminate on Tuesday, August 19th, with an
all-day open conference, featuring the scholars above and other area
scholars (to be announced). The conference will feature four panels:

Humanistic Perspectives on Teaching and Teacher Education
Humanistic Inquiry in Educational Research
All of those interested in the humanistic dimensions of education are
invited to attend (contact Roman Friedman rfridmn2@illinois.edu for

Educational Theory is committed to bringing philosophical scholarship
in education to a broader audience of educators, policymakers, and
concerned citizens.
ETSI was established to foster new theoretical perspectives on timely
questions of educational policy and practice. It brings leading
scholars to the University of Illinois to collaborate on a special
issue of Educational Theory and, along with area scholars, to
participate in a public conference.
