CIES 2020 Miami

When:

March 22-26, 2020

About this year's conference theme:

We live in a moment of epochal precarity, amidst irreversible environmental catastrophe that is impacting all life on Earth. Signaling the end of human exceptionalism, this era calls for an urgent redefinition of what it is to be human and a reconfiguration of the relationship between human and Earth. How should education respond to a world of shifting planetary boundaries and collapsing ecosystems?  What education policies, practices, and pedagogies can help re-situate the human within the relational flow of life where everyone and everything – both human and non-human – are deeply interconnected? How can we learn to responsibly encounter and fully engage with a more than human world?

Program:

Each day between Monday, March 23, 2020, and Thursday, March 26, 2020, CIES 2020 Miami will feature a series of conference keynotes, which have been organized by this year’s Program Committee. As in music, these keynotes set the tone for the conference and highlight various aspects of the conference theme “Education beyond the Human: Toward Sympoiesis.” They weave in and out through the entire duration of the conference, inviting the participants to explore alternative ways for thinking about and experiencing life – and education – on a damaged Earth.
