Education research for sustainable communities

Education and education research play an important part in understanding wellness. Wellness is affected by what is happening to the land, our water and to our communities. While these are not healthy, we cannot hope to live sustainably. As education researchers adapt to the Performance Based Research Fund’s ‘more capacious’ definition of research, how do we as a research community ensure that our work contributes to more sustainable educational practices and relations, natural environments and social communities?

Key note speakers

NZARE Council and the organising committee at Massey University are delighted to announce three of our speakers. Distinguished Professor Barbara Rogoff, Distinguished Professor Graham Hingangaroa Smith, and Professor Alex Gunn! We are so excited to be challenged, inspired, and educated by each of these wonderful scholars. Don't miss this opportunity to hear them speak!

Abstract submissions have closed for the 2023 Conference.

Individual paper presentation

All individual presentations will be allocated a 30-minute timeslot and grouped with two similar presentations where possible. When preparing your presentation allow for a 20-minute presentation and up to 10 minutes of questions and discussion. 

Symposium presentation

A symposium presentation consists of three presentations and a discussant/chairperson, who may be one of the presenters. Each symposia are allocated 90 minutes. The title of the symposium plus the names and affiliations of all participants in the session, including the chair, and an overview of 100-200 words should be submitted by the organiser. In addition, each presenter in the symposium must submit an abstract of 100-200 words. Organisers of symposium proposals must nominate adiscussant/chairperson and organise the session to allow time for questions and discussion.

Round table discussion

A round table discussion consists of three or four papers that focus on a theme or issue for discussion. Papers of approximately 2000 words from each author are available in advance and the expectation is that those attending the discussion will have read the papers and considered a question posed by the author. Each author will present a five-minute overview of their research and question before the facilitated discussion begins.

1. Objectives or purpose
