Congratulations to CEPA colleagues whose colloquium proposal ‘Can national identity ever have fundamental values?’ has been accepted at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in Illinois next year. The interdisciplinary colloquium will feature contributions from 6 colleagues (Andrea Bullivant, Alan Hodkinson, Ella Houston, Asli Kandemir, Joseph Maslen and Zaki Nahaboo) who will discuss historical, philosophical, political, and educational aspects of national identity and its translation into curricular and educational arenas.
