This conference features presentations from teaching and scholarly communities from around the world. In each of the last 4 years, delegates have come from over 20 countries making this truly an event at which many points of view are represented. Presentations will focus on our central theme of "Imaginative Education: Provoking Excellence Across the Curriculum". We hope this theme will be seen as a challenge to revisit the definition of 'academic excellence' through an imaginative approach. By choosing the words ‘provoking excellence’, we are trying to promote discussion about the definition of 'excellence' and how imagination in curriculum, in teaching practices and in research, can be understood as central to attaining excellence across the curriculum. This year’s confirmed speakers are: Keynote Speaker: Vivian Gussin Paley (United States), Thurs. July 19, 2007 Invited Speakers: Sean Blenkinsop (Canada), Wed.
