About ProPEL 2019

5th International ProPEL Conference 2019

ProPEL is a collaborative, multi-professional international network, launched in 2010 at the University of Stirling, to promote research and knowledge exchange in issues of professional education, practice and learning. Conferences draw scholars from a range of countries, disciplines and theoretical orientations. More information and updates are available on the blog ProPEL Matters.

We were pleased to welcome the ProPEL 2019 keynote speakers – Professor Silvia Gherardi, Professor Stephen Kemmis and Professor Margaret Somerville – all distinguished researchers in the fields of professional learning, education and practice.

The main theme of the conference was Provocations and Possibilities. We were particularly keen to shine a light on the unspoken, unseen, unasked and intangible during this conference. We invited participants to uncover and examine these from multiple perspectives and to contemplate future directions, opportunities and potential.
