Complexity of place in periphery, coastal and rural education - Plymouth

PLYMOUTH MARJON UNIVERSITY ACADEMY SERIES LECTURE

Please join the Dean of Place and Social Purpose, Professor Tanya Ovenden-Hope, as she hosts Visiting Professors at Plymouth Marjon University, Professor Jayne Downey and Professor Yael Grinshtain, to speak about the complexity of place in periphery, coastal and rural education settings.

Tanya, Jayne and Yael have be co-editing a special issue journal Practice and Policy: Rural and Urban Education Experiences that has received many papers on place and education. The contextual experiences of place make it hard to generalise and therefore difficult to research. However, the speakers will share how they embrace the complexity of place in an attempt to understand education in rural, coastal and periphery areas.

Questions to the speakers will be welcomed, and if you would like to pose them in advance, please email cornwall@marjon.ac.uk

This event will be of interest to school leaders, teachers, local authority, MAT CEOs, policy makers, education students and researchers.

This event is free and tea and coffee will be provided. You are welcome to arrive from 1715. Parking is available on site. The lecture will be in Room W210.
