Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies

You are invited to join us at the 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON IMAGINATION AND EDUCATION being held JULY 18 - 21, 2007 at the Coast
Plaza Hotel and Suites, Vancouver, Canada[1].

Hosted by The Imaginative Education Research Group[2] of Simon Fraser University, Canada,[3] this conference showcases presentations by teaching and scholarly communities from around the world. Featuring Dr. Vivian Gussin Paley [4] as keynote speaker, as well as invited sessions by Drs. Rosalind Horowitz (USA), Tony Sherborne (UK), Kieran Egan (Canada), Sean Blenkinsop (Canada) and Mrs. Annabella Cant (Romania), the program is full of thought provoking sessions addressing imagination and education across the curriculum.

Optional evening events are also planned including a 4 hour Sunset Dinner boat cruise along the coast of Vancouver and surrounding areas. Past delegates have shared with us that this conference has consistently been a great opportunity to get together for lively discussions and learning opportunities centered in education practice, research and theory.

If you register before May 14th, you will receive a free copy of “Teaching and Learning Outside the Box: Inspiring Imagination Across the Curriculum” in your delegate package. This Althouse/Teachers Press book, to be published in May 2007, is edited by Kieran Egan, Maureen Stout, and Keiichi Takaya of the IERG.
