"Work as the Curriculum"
2nd Seminar Series
Research in Adult and Vocational Learning Group (RAVL)
The forthcoming series of seminars organised by the RAVL group examines the changing relationship between work and education, particularly as embedded in work-based approaches to higher education. These challenge the nature of higher education and its hold over the credentialisation of learning in powerful and significant ways: sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. They also serve to define the nature of knowledge in new ways. It is with the intention of furthering the understanding and conceptualisation of these new approaches to vocational and adult learning that this second series has been organised.
The seminars will be held from 12.30-2.00pm
in Room D212 in Building 5, Faculty of Education,
Market Street Campus, University of Technology, Sydney. (See Map)
