SUMMARY:The Civic University Symposium
DESCRIPTION:YOU ARE WARMLY INVITED TO  \nThe Civic University Symposium: Reimagining the University for Public Purpose  \n The inaugural event of the Critical Higher Education Studies (CHES) research group\, supported by CELT and the School of Political Science and Sociology Public and Civic Engagement Programme\,  with keynote speech from Prof Vanessa Andreotti and contributions from Prof Ronaldo Munck and Dr Karen Pashby. \nDate: Saturday 2nd December\nTime: 10am-4pm\nVenue: MY243 Lecture Theatre\, Aras Moyola\, NUI Galway \nAll welcome but places are limited.\nTo RSVP and for more information please see\nhttps://civic_university_symposium.eventbrite.ie \n  \nWhat is the purpose of higher education? Is higher education a public good – and if so\, how do we understand the claim that this requires a private cost\, and therefore a private gain? Is the knowledge produced by higher education a public good – and if so\, how do we understand this in relation to the tendency to lock this knowledge behind paywalls demanded by private publishing companies\, and the exclusion of the Global South? Does higher education contribute to building a democratic citizenry – and if so\, how does this relate to the increase in performative demands on teaching and research? What are the ethical responsibilities of higher education in the Global North in relation to the majority of the world? \n\nThis symposium marks the first public event organised by the Critical Higher Education Studies (CHES) research group\, and aims to initiate a generative conversation about the transformations of higher education\, and its role in creative re-imaginations of the university\, its spaces\, mission\, activities and purposes\, with equality\, inclusion and rights as fundamental commitments. \n  \nSpeakers \nProf Vanessa Andreotti is a professor at the Department for Educational Studies at the University of British Columbia and holds a Canada Research Chair in Race\, Inequalities and Global Change.  She was a post-doctoral fellow at NUI Galway from 2006 to 2008. Her research traces systemic and historical patterns of reproduction of global inequalities and examines how these patterns relate to political and affective economies of knowledge production.  She has extensive experience working with governments\, NGOs\, professional associations and local communities in areas of education related to global justice\, community engagement\, internationalization and indigenous knowledge systems. Many of her publications are available at: https://ubc.academia.edu/VanessadeOliveiraAndreotti. \n  \nProf Ronaldo Munck is Head of Civic Engagement at DCU and a Visiting Professor of International Development at the University of Liverpool and St. Mary’s University\, Nova Scotia.
