Activities

At the Margins of the University Seminar

In 2019 Queen's University Belfast hosted the seminar titled At the Margins of the University: Scholarship and practice of higher education transformation and disruption in contexts of post/ conflict, inequality and oppression.

At this event, as part of School of Social Science, Education and Social Work's research focus on Peace in Societies, reflections on three intentional interventions (a roundtable; a cross-institutional academic development programme; a network) were presented by those concerned with social justice in and of the academy:

  1. Building solidarity through comparative experiences of post/conflict academia: Reflections on two days of dialogue - Tom Parkinson (University of Kent)
  2. A capacity development model for women in higher education institutions in East Africa - Naomi Lumutenga (HERS-EA)
  3. Reflecting on ‘Emancipatory Imaginations: Advancing Critical University Studies’ Event - Jenny Boźena du Preez (Nelson Mandela University), Dina Belluigi (QUB), and Tony Gallagher (QUB)

Professor Dina Belluigi's introduction is available here, while the reflections video can be accessed here.
