The CIIE International Seminar "Education, Social Justice and Democracy: reflecting on CIIE's strategic areas of research and intervention" will take place on 26 March at 2 pm in Auditorium 1 of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto (FPCEUP).

This international seminar will feature a keynote lecture by Professor Susan Wright, from the University of Aarhus, and we plan to hold a round table to reflect on the past and present of CIIE's strategic areas, the intersections between them and future paths for the new strategic programme that is being designed.

This seminar follows on from an internal seminar on 23 January, which identified and debated thematic and methodological intersections between the diverse research carried out at CIIE, and is organised by representatives of the strategic areas (i) Evaluation, Public Policies in Education (Preciosa Fernandes and Rui Trindade), (ii) Higher Education, Diversity, Innovation (Amélia Veiga and José Pedro Amorim) and (iii) Pedagogical Management and Democratic Participation (Ana Cristina Torres and Elisabete Ferreira).
