The Global Education Symposium at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a four-day event with opportunities to connect with scholars from around the world researching global education, engage in professional development activities, participate in Homecoming Weekend, and more. The Symposium includes a conference with poster sessions, panels, and presentations by College of Education faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, international partners, and other scholars. Conference themes include global education and policy, global migration and education, diversity in local and global contexts, research-based practice in schools, and adult and professional education.
Topics
We invite scholarship that studies education - including in the workplace, online spaces, informal learning contexts, and more - with a lens that situates these educational settings within broader economic, political, social, and cultural contexts. Because of the interconnectedness of our world, studying local contexts with a global lens provides a fuller understanding of both local and global phenomena. It is our hope that research studies with a variety of topics and employing a variety of methodologies - including interpretive, qualitative, and quantitative - will enhance our understanding of key educational issues around the world.
