2014 Spencer Foundation Convening Grant Awardee

Congratulations to Claudia Ruitenberg in the Department of Educational Studies for being awarded a 2014 Spencer Foundation Convening Grant!

Claudia Ruitenberg (EDST)
Two-day symposium: The significance of study
$17,130 | 18 months

Summary:
The symposium brings together ten scholars from five countries in the fields of philosophy of education and curriculum studies to discuss the role of study in different forms and levels of education. The symposium will focus on “study” as an educational concept and activity in its own right. What does it mean to study a text? A piece of music? A tree? How is studying any of these objects different from being taught about them, or learning something about them? What does the difficulty demanded by study mean for the one who studies and for the teacher? What mode of existence does study induce? What is the significance of study, not just for its educational outcome but as a human activity?

With UBC participants Dr. William Pinar (EDCP), Dr. Anne Phelan (EDCP), and Dr. Sam Rocha (EDST).
