10th International EUREDOCS Conference
Society for Research into Higher Education London
What is EUREDOCS?
EUREDOCS is a network of European doctoral students working on issues related to the Europeanization of higher education and research.
It aims to facilitate and enable more communication among doctoral students and new doctoral candidates and to promote publication and dissemination of research results and to facilitate exchange and mobility among young scholars in this field. EUREDOCS is an interdisciplinary network and accepts membership from doctoral students and recent doctoral candidates in sociology, political science, economics, history, and educational studies.
The 2016 Conference theme
The 10th EUREDOCS Conference will focus on the theme: “Equity and diversity in contemporary higher education”.
Global, national and local transformations at the political, social, economic and technological levels over the last decades have put the question of equity and diversity at the centre of policy debates. Higher education institutions are increasingly scrutinised about their role and responsibilities in terms of equity and their potential role in the reproduction of inequalities across society. The unfolding of the global crisis of the economy in 2008 and its social and political effects have made these questions of social integration and cohesion even more crucial.
Universities and other higher education institutions are a central part of equity concerns and the conference proposes to examine the extent to which the higher education sector contributes to equitable societies. Equity and diversity are deeply contextual and are tied to the multiple layers of policy and practice at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels.
