27-30 June 2020:
"Education and Diversity in a Pluricultural Context"

RETHINKING OUR PURPOSE: LET'S THINK ONLINE AND OUT OF THE BOX

Across the globe schools and universities are closed with millions of people confined to their homes, struggling to maintain purposeful lives despite very real and pressing constraints. We have all been besieged by messages announcing the cancellation of events. Many conferences are postponed, others are going fully online.

We, too, have weighed the situation. Our conclusion is that we must use this opportunity to think beyond the end of the crisis, to rethink and reshape our purpose as we launch the network of international research schools.

We remain committed to supporting the development of research in education and diversity in a pluricultural context. We are equally committed to engaging in a collaborative experiment in building sustainable intellectual communities in a virtual space.

WHAT IS THE RIPE NETWORK?

The purpose of the RIPE network is to bring together university researchers and classroom practitioners with the aim of promoting robust research informed practice in international education while providing the opportunity for all participants to benefit from a rich exchange of views and a broad range of experience.

The network will be structured in a series of hubs, each of which will be comprised of at least one university and one international school. Both governmental and non-governmental organisations from wider society (e.g. UNESCO) will also be encouraged to become involved. The close collaborative relationships established among member institutions will allow us to collectively construct a deep understanding of dialogic teaching and learning in a plurilingual and pluricultural context.

Participating institutions will host events coordinated with other regional hubs represented in the network (currently Europe and East Asia). The content and structure of RIPE events should reflect the immediate needs and interests of regional hub members, however, participants from other member hubs will also be welcome.

Long term aims include the dissemination of publications on collaborative and school based research in a range of domains related to culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogy and the politics of culture. The network will seek to empower practitioner researchers and build a shared body of knowledge that challenges hegemonic notions of traditionally legitimate sources of knowledge and pedagogy in the complex context of international education.

In addition to conferences, future aims will include the creation of a website as well as masters and post-graduate student and early career academic network.
