As part of the series of events initiated by Neil Selwyn across the world on “Critical studies of education and technology: an invitation to connect. Problematising education and digital technology’, we are organising a seminar for the Swiss academic community.
Our aim is to bring together people engaged or interested in critical studies of education and technology across Switzerland to start building a network. At the global level, the aim is to establish a loose network of groups that can begin to make lasting connections and develop a sense of intellectual community.
These meetings will be based around four common themes, addressed in the form of the following questions:
- What are the pressing issues, concerns, tensions and problems that surround EdTech in our locality? What questions do we need to ask, and what approaches will help us research these questions?
- What social harms are we seeing associated with digital technology and education in our locality?
- What does the political economy of EdTech look like in our region?
- What grounds for hope are there?
