The conference explores the impact of economic rationalism and the emergence of concepts of sustainability in reference to issues such as health, education, environment and governance. Looks at using action learning, action research and related methodologies (eg: collaborative inquiry, appreciative inquiry) to consider the impact of these ideas on current action research and learning practices. The conference will be unconventional, using highly participatory forms of interaction, self-organisation and collaborative knowledge generation. This approach offers a unique and very timely experiential opportunity for delegates (both novice and mature) to learn and practice action learning and research at the event. http://www.edna.edu.au/noticeboards/688/722550 This year's conference is presented in an exciting partnership with the Centre for Educational Excellence at the Canberra Institute of Technology.
