The Inclusive Education Summit (TIES) 2018
Event Details
Deakin University Waterfront Campus, Geelong Victoria
26 October 2018
- 28 October 2018
Overarching principles of human rights shore up a nearly 30-year history of international efforts to develop educational systems that are responsive to the needs of all.
The Inclusive Education Summit (TIES) invites the many to come together to consider educational democracy at a moment in global history where the political order fractures populations, and the displacement of socio-economic participation is displayed in every news bulletin – true, fake or otherwise. Under these conditions, the significance of academic activism, wherein diverse perspectives, methodologies and theoretical approaches are put to work to increase equity in education, has perhaps never been so stark.
TIES seeks to engage with researchers, students, education professionals and leaders, advocacy organisations, and people experiencing exclusion to consider human rights in relation to inclusive education.
