The Teacher and Student as Such – Dr. Sam Rocha, Assistant Professor
This paper will make the claim that “the study of education is imperiled by the institutional study of education,” followed by a brief philosophical sketch.
Thinking With Literary Philosophy: What is it and Why is it? – Addyson Frattura-Kampschroer, PhD student & Rabia Mir, MA student
In this talk, we engage with questions of style and form within philosophical writing in education. To do so, we play with the idea and essence of “literariness” in literary philosophy, as a form. We do not seek to convince, but rather to question what literary philosophy is, why it is, and in what ways might it be interesting within the field of education.
Student Labor, Student Strikes, Student Power – Jonathan Turcotte-Summers, PhD student
While post-secondary education in Ontario is under attack, students in Quebec are planning a strike and fighting back. What makes this strike so different? Why isn’t it called a “walkout” or a “boycott”? And why do some think it’s so revolutionary to consider study as a form of labour, and students as workers?
