Dr Janice K. Jones ([email protected]) with Conference Attendees
“Opening Up the Ivory Tower” Kaleidoscope Conference 29 – 30 May, 2014
Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge
Multiple Ways of Seeing and Knowing
This presentation will take shape in the moment as participants create a critical and 'Just in Time' bricolage of troubling issues, images, and debates captured during their experience of the 2 day conference. Reversing the Kaleidoscope, we will re-present, trouble and test emerging concepts of the 'Ivory Tower' in a communal re-construction and celebration of our many ways of seeing and knowing.

Tweets from our peers…By and large, research is done by groups. The PhD does not equip people well for this team activity and for writing together.
@SelenaYuan: I prefer the idea of "engaging" over "opening up", and what if the ivory tower is invented?imaginary? #kc2014 @janicekjones@SelenaYuan: Does our conception of ivory tower creates and reinforces the notion of 'ivory tower'? #kc2014 @janicekjones@ScottAnnett1: Frances teaching us about musical progression skills for under7s ...
