All the other educational places

We are pleased to announce that the re-scheduled Postgraduate Event All The Other Educational Places will take place on Thursday 26th November 12.30 - 5pm in Committee Room 2, UCL Institute of Education, Bedford Way, London. This event explores education outside of ‘school’ as it is conventionally defined. 

There are two keynote speakers: 

• John Field, Emeritus Professor of Lifelong Learning, (University of Stirling): ‘Researching life in Britain's work camps, 1920-1939: memory, texts and hindsight’
• Stephanie Spencer, Reader in the History of Women’s Education, (University of Winchester): 'Sites of learning: school stories for girls before the 1944 Education Act' 

And papers by three postgraduate students:  

• Emily Charkin, (UCL/IoE) 'The right setting for a child is the community itself': self-build and radical education in the 1970s' 
• Laura Newman (King's College, London) "The successes and failures of object lessons in health at a Kent sanatorium, c.1900-1930"
• Jane Shephard (University of Brighton) 'Training the eye in infancy, and preventing undesirable impressions of disorder': mediating education and decoration through friezes and stencil designs for the home nursery, 1920-1924" 

There is no charge for this event. It is organised by the History of Education Society in association with the International Centre for Historical Research on Education.
