<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following the very successful inaugural conference on the theme of the work of Paulo Freire, the Department of Educational Studies (in collaboration with the Centre for Culture, Identity and Education), University of British Columbia, invites
individual paper and full panel proposals for its second Departmental conference on the theme Cultural Studies and Education.<span style="">
</span>In addition to traditional papers and presentations, the conference welcomes proposals for performative cultural studies (music, skits, dance, spoken word, rap, art, multimedia).
<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both fields that draw on the traditional disciplines in various ways, cultural studies and education have had a long but mutually ambivalent relationship.<span style="">
</span>What could be described as “the cultural studies turn” in the 1990s marked the taking up of cultural studies as both articulation of and successor regime to a disparate collection of identity based and social justice aimed forms of education.<span style="">
</span>While many in both fields saw this as the emergence of cultural studies and/of education, the history of the imbrication of cultural studies and education goes as far back as the 1960s and 1970s work of the apparently not well known successive “Education
Groups” of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at Birmingham University, UK, and indeed arguably to the very origins of cultural studies as the adult education work of an acknowledged founding father, Raymond Williams.<span style="">
</span>Cultural studies has been rather reticent to acknowledge its education origins, preferring the story of the crises of the humanities and social sciences as its definitive origin.<span style="">
</span>In fact, cultural studies has treated education rather like a dotty old aunt kept hidden in the attic when good, cutting edge theory company have come calling.<span style="">
</span>In turn some in education, engaged in praxis projects, have been put off by what they perceive as the theoreticism that characterizes much of contemporary cultural studies work.<span style="">
</span>On the other hand, some cultural studies figures (e.g. Larry Grossberg who in the late 1990s pronounced education to be “one of the most pressing, promising, and paradoxical sites of cultural studies”) have seen considerable potential for education to
contribute to what constitutes cultural studies work and some education figures have variously taken up cultural studies as an approach to critical education or as a means of going beyond addressing “traditional” education issues in order to address aspects
of what Roger Simon has described as “education broadly defined.”<span style="">
