The Centre for Lebanese Studies at the Lebanese American University invites you to its second regional conference focusing on Curriculum Reform in the Arab World: Ideologies, Power Dynamics, and Knowledge Production.
This conference engages with curriculum reform in the region with a social justice-oriented approach. This conference is part of CLS’s continued efforts to promote a dialogue on education, curriculum reform and social justice.
The Curriculum Reform conference 2022 builds on the results of the CLS’s first conference on curriculum reform held in January and February 2021. It also builds on the main findings of the eight National Consultation sessions with key actors in the community that took place across Lebanon in July and August 2021. Through this conference we aim to continue facilitating the space to engage with and critically discuss issues related to curriculum reform with a social justice lens.
Eight presentations by academics and practitioners from across the region focusing on the following key themes:
- The ideologies underpinning curriculum reform in the region.
- Unpacking power dynamics that manifest in the processes of curriculum reform.
- Curriculum reform and knowledge production
