"Learning for decent work? Understanding and researching work and learning"
The Chairperson of the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), Professor Shirley Walters, invites you to the 10th Chairperson's Lecture on 13 October 2010 at the University of Johannesburg (map attached) at 16h00. The guest speaker will be Professor Tara Fenwick, a leading scholar and researcher into lifelong learning and work.
About the guest speaker
Professor Fenwick was Professor and Head of Department of Educational Studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. In 2010, she relocated to The Stirling Institute of Education, Scotland taking up a Chair in Professional Education. Her research has focused on lifelong learning and education in the everyday activity of ‘workplaces’ and organisations, with particular interest in understanding how identities, power relations and knowledge emerge in the rapidly changing conditions of globalized workplace practices. She has written extensively about theories of learning and gender in relation to work practices and education, most recently focusing on what some call ‘socio-material’ theories, particularly actor-network theory and complexity sciences.
Her book Learning Through Experience: Troubling Assumptions and Intersecting Questions (Krieger, 2003) was granted the 2004 Cyril Houle Award of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education for Outstanding Contribution to Adult Education Literature.
