International Research Network on Imaginative Education
Up one level
The International Research Network in Imagination and Education (IRNIE) is developed on the initiatives of the Imaginative Education Research Group at Simon Fraser University and extends the international recognition and impact of educational research in a field where Canada has become a global leader in recent years. IRNIE brings together established and new researchers from across Canada and the world who have come to see imagination as central in some way to their research. Many of these researchers first became aware of each other’s work through International Conferences on Imagination and Education organized by IERG each year since 2003. Many have also been attracted to the field by the books and articles of IERG director Kieran Egan, who has pursued a distinctive line of inquiry into the role of imagination in teaching and learning for some 30 years.
