STORIES Conference 2022

Global and Communal Perspectives on Language, Educational Policy and Pedagogy

Welcome to STORIES 2022!! The University of Oxford Department of Education’s STORIES (STudents’ Ongoing Research In Education) Conference is an annual student-led conference that supports postgraduate students in their ongoing research and fosters networking amongst students and faculty across the field of education from Oxford and beyond.

With social twists, political turns, and medical breakthroughs, the past few years have irrevocably altered educational research. From COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter to the technological impacts of video conferencing on children in schools, never before has research, activism, or student-oriented pedagogy applied so extensively to teaching and learning. As researchers and students, we have each uniquely and personally been impacted by events that have influenced our simultaneously globalized and hyper-localized worlds, and we want to hear about it. From the way children develop language and identity to federal education laws, it is fitting that the STORIES theme this year is Global and Communal Perspectives on Language, Educational Policy and Pedagogy.
