Pre-Conference Workshops
Pre–Conference Workshops (PCWs) are integral parts of ISCHE conferences. They are small focused meetings that take place the day before the main ISCHE conference. They are intended to provoke intellectual discussion, among a diverse range of participants, on a specific topic. PCWs may also consist of workshops discussing critical issues, methods, theories emerging in the field.
For further information on how to propose a PCW, please see the ISCHE Byelaws.
UPCOMING
ISCHE 43 will host three pre-conference workshops:

b.) Transnational Media Archeology of Education: IT Technologies, Teaching and Learning
c.) Challenging Stagnant Hope: Educational Ecology, Public History and University-Community Engagement in the History of Education
From sources to new issues in the history of education in Africa
This workshop intends to encourage dialogue between historians engaged in researching education in Africa. In order to do so, we suggest a reflection on the sources of the history of education in Africa and on the perspectives they provide for research and teaching. In particular, we would like to attend to the specificity of these sources and to ask how they can help us to shed new light on certain major issues within the history of education.
Sources et enjeux de l’histoire de l’éducation en Afrique
Cet atelier cherche à mettre en dialogue l’ensemble des historiens et historiennes de l’éducation s’intéressant au continent africain. Pour cela, il propose une réflexion sur les sources de l’histoire de l’éducation en Afrique, et sur les perspectives qu’elles ouvrent pour la recherche et pour l’enseignement. Il s’agit en particulier de questionner la spécificité – réelle ou supposée – de ces sources, et d’interroger la manière dont elles peuvent permettre d’appréhender sous un nouveau jour certains grands enjeux de l’histoire de l’éducation.

Transnational Media Archeology of Education: IT Technologies, Teaching and Learning
In this workshop, we would like to start with a core ontological question: What do we mean by ‘computer’ and ‘computer education’? When pursuing these basic questions two key issues come into focus: (1) how and when has an object of technological innovation become an “educational technology”; (2) how can we describe this transformation process, especially in terms of adaptation and transfers – which pioneers, followers, and late-followers can we identify. We will work in groups, targeting the following aspects of computers, education and computer education: new materialities, discourses, networks and institutional background.
Convenors:
