Theories of Difference: Pedagogies and Practices
Dear colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce Professor Heather Love (University of Pennsylvania) will be returning to USN to offer the doctoral course “Theories of Difference: Pedagogies and Practices” together with me in August. We hope you will share the details of the course, provided below, with any parties who may be interested in participating. The course is relevant not only for students specializing in education but also for those studying other subjects within the humanities and social sciences.
Sign up: https://nettskjema.no/a/210105#/page/1
Deadline to sign up: 30 June 2023
Dates: 29 August – 1 September 2023
Location: USN Drammen
Credits: 5 ECTS credits, doctoral level
Description:
Norway’s Education Law gestures to education’s inclusion of critical theory, that is, to theory which seeks not simply to describe or understand society but rather to critique it in order to promote positive social change, justice, equity, and democracy. Since education is an interdisciplinary field that brings together many critical-theoretical methodologies and practices, finding inroads into relevant cross-disciplinary critical theory is central to the rubric of education.
“Theories of Difference: Pedagogies and Practices” is offered to doctoral candidates, early career researchers, and other qualified and interested parties. It focuses on disability studies and queer theory, two critical-theoretical fields that highlight existing inequalities and seek equity, and as such, emphasize the core aims of the Norwegian education system. The course provides a space in which participants can both engage in and develop practical activities that will increase both their own and, if relevant, their future students’ understanding of the pedagogical, ethical, social, and political relevance of disability studies and queer theory. It will make clear the relevance of these critical-theoretical frameworks to curricular and instructional design and classroom practice.
This course will introduce participants to key questions in the fields of queer and disability studies, focusing in particular on representation, stigma, access, institutionalization, identity, politics, commodification, and conceptions of the human. We will take an intersectional approach and will thus also consider the ways that sexuality, gender, and disability are inflected by other dimensions of identity, including race, class, and religion. As such, this course also serves as a review of several key concepts in cultural studies and social theory and their relation to pedagogy, as well as a space in which early career researchers can develop and test concrete strategies for the inclusion of theory in the university classroom.

Warmly,
Applications are invited for a PhD position at Ghent University in the field of Children’s Literature. The research project on which the PhD candidate will be employed is supervised by Prof. Dr. Elly McCausland. Candidates are invited to propose their own project, which must be in the field of children’s literature, and combine theoretical inquiry with textual analysis. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, children’s literature and the environment; young adult dystopia; adaptations of canonical texts for children; medievalism in children’s literature; nineteenth-century children’s literature; representations of risk and adventure in children’s literature; play in children’s literature; fantasy and fairytale.
From the Call for Papers:
William Butler Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in Stockholm in December 1923. This was an event that in many ways solidified Yeats’s place as one of the writers of the twentieth century,
both home and abroad. The award placed him in the company of such luminaries as Rabindranath Tagore, Rudyard Kipling and Knut Hamsun, and later laureates have ranged from Samuel Beckett and Winston Churchill to Seamus Heaney and last year’s winner, Annie Ernaux. The award was an important event in Yeats’s life, associated both with the elevated (in Yeats’s memories of the lavish ceremony) and the mundane (as in anecdotes, such as the one involving the Yeatses cooking sausages
to celebrate the news of the award). Both Yeats’s lecture delivered to the Swedish Royal Academy, ‘The Irish Dramatic Movement’, and his travelogue ‘The Bounty of Sweden’, are significant parts of
his oeuvre, the former particularly due to the way in which he selectively singled out Lady Gregory and John Millington Synge when commemorating ‘the labours, triumphs and troubles of my fellowworkers’
in the establishment of the Abbey Theatre.
This academic conference, organized in tandem by the International Yeats Society and the English Department at Stockholm University, will celebrate the centenary of Yeats’s award. We invite papers on a range of topics related to Yeats and the Nobel Prize, and we are especially interested in papers that address the theme of elevation.
Please contact Anna Swärdh for details.
