Welcome to ISCHE 28 |
| In August 2006, the 28th Session of the International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE 28) will take place at Umeå University, Sweden. The conference theme, Technologies of the Word: Literacies in the History of Education, will hopefully attract the interest of scholars of various disciplines from all over the world. The theme addresses a multitude of aspects of orality, reading, writing and computing, including many important transitions and transformations. In a globalising world displaying new literacies and illiteracies, the conference aims at contributing to a better understanding not only of the past, but also of contemporary society. The conference will take place on the scenic campus of Umeå University. Currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, the university with its 28,000 students has become a vehicle of cultural and economic development in the city of Umeå and its vicinity. Conveniently accessible by air, the expanding city of Umeå has retained its small-town character, offering wooden houses, birch trees and riverside paths in addition to many modern hotels, restaurants and pubs – with the region of indigenous Saami culture not far away. The conference is co-hosted by the Department of Historical Studies and the Teacher Education Faculty at Umeå University. The Organisational Committee and the Programme Committee invite you all to help us make ISCHE 28 a memorable event. Welcome to Umeå University and ISCHE 28 in August 2006!
