Dates:

Research Symposium: July 9th, 2008

Institute: July 7th through 9th, 2008

Paper Themes:

Rather than treating imagination as an interesting but unnecessary add-on, IERG and the CIE have been pursuing the idea that imagination may be essential to helping educators achieve their goals. The Center for Imaginative Education is committed to encouraging educational practices that come to the fore once one takes the imagination seriously as a major learning tool. The Imaginative Education Research Group (IERG) and the Center for Imaginative Education (CIE) of the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University is pleased to announce our 3rd Annual Research Symposium on Imaginative Education.

With the theme of "Imaginative Education: Achieving Educational Goals with Imagination," We invite researchers, teacher-practitioners, graduate students, administrators and policy makers to send us their papers for the symposium sessions. The expectation is that all papers will address the afore mentioned theme in ways that build on, or respond to, the work of SFU's Centre for Imaginative Education as described on the website of the Imaginative Education Research Group at http://www.ierg.net/.
