About this Event
This blended (online and face to face) Symposium aims to gather interdisciplinary contributions about space and spatial issues in both philosophical hermeneutics and phenomenology, to inform approaches in the humanities and social sciences, paying particular attention to education research. The proposed spatial turn explored through hermeneutic and phenomenological vantage points across continental philosophy, psychology, education and geography, seeks to promote cross-disciplinary discussion about spatial concepts and current spatial issues.
A particular focus is on Space and Being, as part of a concern with expansion of understandings of being beyond the Cartesian cogito and selfconsciousness that still dominate in wider educational discourse on wellbeing, including in UNESCO documents such as the seminal Faure Report 1972 Learning to Be. Broader spaces of experience are being sought, reconfiguring diametric oppositional spatial splits between nature and culture. The role of the arts for expansions of spatial understandings and capacities for experience are being interrogated as part of a transformative agenda for education of the future.
