East West Center, Honolulu, Hawaii

The Program Committee invites submissions that address a wide range of educational issues from a variety of theoretical/philosophical perspectives and traditions. What is of educational value in philosophical dialogue across different cultures perspectives?
Theme: Dialogue and Difference
How might different philosophical traditions generate critical debate on contemporary educational issues? What can these different philosophical orientations offer to educational thought and practice? What is of value in inter-cultural dialogue?
Modern educational thought is marked by a considerable and apparently irreducible diversity of ideas and practices. Global society is increasingly an arena of marked divergence in educational values and philosophical orientations arising from a wide variety of traditions and perspectives. This is particularly true in the context of education in the Pacific Region in which differences can be defined not only in terms of competing European philosophies of education and their respective visions of value and practice, nor only in terms of the vastly different traditions of educational thought of East and West, but also in terms of different indigenous perspectives, such as those represented by various aboriginal and minority groups.
Papers that focus on the conference theme may be selected from among those presented at the conference, after further review, for a special issue of Educational Philosophy and Theory. Papers that deal philosophically with other educational issues are also welcome.
The tradition of the Society is to provide a supportive environment for the presentation of papers and the encouragement of a more profound understanding of practical and theoretical issues in education.
