The journal Educational Theory and the Department of Education Policy,
Organization & Leadership are pleased to announce the Fifth Annual
Educational Theory Summer Institute (ETSI), to be held at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from August 17-19, 2014.

This year’s theme is Humane education: Recovering the humanistic
dimensions of teaching, learning & research. Educational Theory has
commissioned a team of leading international scholars to produce fresh
and substantive contributions to a special issue on the theme. The
2014 participants are:

René Arcilla, New York University
Gert Biesta, University of Luxembourg
Robert Davis, University of Glasgow
Deborah Kerdeman, University of Washington
Duck-Joo Kwak, Seoul National University
Megan Laverty, Teachers College, Columbia University
Richard Smith, Durham University

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:

The Possibilities of a Critical Humanism
The Nature, Condition, and Future of the Humanities
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
further details or to RSVP).

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.

We have held four successful institutes to date (more information

State Intervention and the Regulation of Parenting (2009)
What Makes a Public School Public? (2010)
Plural Societies and the Possibility of a Shared Civic Vision (2011)
Sex Education and Value Conflict in the Liberal State (2012)
