Victoria and Massey Universities, together with their local social sciences subject associations and teaching communities have offered to host SocCon11, to be held at Te Papa, Wellington, 18-20 July, 2011. Social Sciences Conference 2011 is a biennial conference for teachers of Social Studies, Geography, History and Economics. We would like your input about the shape and direction of this conference (including a conference theme and ideas for keynotes) . And we'd love to offer you an opportunity to meet with other social sciences teachers for a bit of an end of year catch-up. Beyond your input at this get-together there is no pressure to become further involved!
Date and time: Monday 23 November, 5-7pm
Venue: Global Focus Aotearoa Meeting Room, Level 2, James Smiths Building, 55 Cuba Street, Wellington.
Who: Everyone in the Wellington and Manawatu social sciences community is welcome. Please feel free to extend this invitation to those who might be interested.
Format: A very brief introduction followed by cafe-style discussions on a range of topics. Wine and nibbles will be served. And for those who are interested in continuing the conversations, we will repair to a local eatery.
Awesome.
