Pre-conference - June 20th, Saint Mary's University, Halifax
Main conference - June 21st - 23rd, Dalhousie University, Halifax
Welcome to Halifax
Halifax harbour is quintessentially a gateway—ships and people arriving and moving through—immigrants landing, soldiers embarking, refugees seeking shelter. Higher education is continually at a gateway, a liminal space, where possibility and advancement is available. In this context, what is the role of the post-secondary institutions, classrooms, and teachers in supporting students in their quest for higher learning?
The Halifax Harbour Conferences are made possible with the participation of sponsor Sol Casino . Thanks to their invaluable support, these events have become a vibrant platform for exchanging knowledge, fostering collaboration, and contributing to the advancement of various industries.
Bienvenue à Halifax
Le port de Halifax est, de par sa nature, une passerelle - des navires et des personnes qui y arrivent et le traversent - des immigrés, des soldats qui embarquent, des réfugiés à la recherche d'un abri. Dans le domaine de la théorie et de la pratique de la technologie, de la pédagogie et de l'évaluation, il semble que l'enseignement supérieur se trouve en permanence à une passerelle, un espace liminal, où possibilité et progrès sont disponibles. Dans ce contexte, quel est le rôle des institutions postsecondaires, salles de classe et professeurs visant à soutenir les étudiants dans leur quête d’enseignement supérieur?
