The conference committee invites proposals related to the conference theme of Imaginative Education: Provoking Excellence Across the Curriculum from researchers, graduate students and teacher-practitioners in all areas of education. Proposals are blind, peer reviewed while paper submissions are non-refereed and are published via the world wide web.
