Birgit Phillips
University of Applied Sciences FH Burgenland, Austria

Biography

Birgit Phillips is a Professor at the University of Applied Sciences FH Burgenland, where she teaches courses on transcultural competence in healthcare, participatory research, critical thinking and other topics. She also works at the University of Graz, where she teaches courses in the fields of online learning, qualitative research and higher education didactics and is currently leading a project on digital literacy in tourism. In addition to a PhD in education sciences and a Master’s in transcultural communication, she is also certified systemic coach, a training which she draws upon to help her learners start to understand and engage critically with their own cultural and identity assumptions. Her research cuts across the humanities and social sciences and is firmly anchored in critical approaches to the study of education. She draws inspiration from transformative, emancipatory and participatory education paradigms. In addition, she has extensive experience in curriculum development and has designed numerous undergraduate and postgraduate courses and modules in a variety of innovative formats.

Before joining the world of academia, Birgit spent more than 8 years living, working and travelling, primarily in the countries of the Global South. These experiences inspired her to get involved with international, interdisciplinary humanitarian projects around the world. Recently, she has collaborated with various international organisations to spearhead projects in India, Myanmar and Kenya designed to help create a better life for some of the most marginalised groups of people. Birgit’s experiences in the Global South have profoundly informed her views on education, and she is a strong advocate for active, community-engaged learning experiences integrated within the curriculum. For her work, Birgit has received numerous grants, as well as national and international awards. For her research on transformative travel and identity negotiation, she received the Patricia Cranton Research Award at the Transformative Learning Conference at Columbia University in 2018. She was also awarded the Erudite Scholar of the Year 2020 by the Council for Educational Administration and Management (CEAM) in India, and most recently, she received the Arqus Teaching Excellence Award from the Arqus European University Alliance for her work on community-engaged education.

Keynote Presentation (2022) | Transdisciplinarity in Education
Fighting Deficit Views of English Foreign Language Learners and Users
Keynote Presentation: Jean-Marc Dewaele

In this presentation I will argue that the traditional deficit view about (English) foreign language learners and users (the so-called failure to reach “native-speaker” standard) is the result of narrow-minded monolingual ideologies and is harmful to learners, teachers and foreign language users. Rather than obsessing about deficit, we should acknowledge gaps but also rejoice about progress, and accept that “imperfect” foreign language users are just as legitimate as first language users, and that their foreign accent and odd mistake is as much part of them as the colour of their eyes and hair (Dewaele, 2018; Dewaele et al. 2021).

Building Capacity through Socially Responsible, Community-engaged Higher Education
Keynote Presentation: Birgit Phillips

With the planet undergoing a slow-motion ecological catastrophe, and humanity facing a surge in inequality, xenophobia and racism, more and more people are asking difficult questions about the complicity of higher education systems in compounding these issues. Although many universities have acknowledged their pivotal role in making the world a better place by adopting Third Mission statements that pledge their social responsibility, their education paradigms too often remain anchored in a profoundly neoliberal agenda that almost exclusively values competitiveness and employability. Rather than promoting inclusive, global citizenship education and engaging critically with the problems of hegemonial systems, higher education institutions frequently function as silos, where knowledge and learning are seen as commodities whose function is to build narrow competences suited to meeting market demands. Such education reinforces the present widespread inequality brought about by capitalism, rather than working towards greater economic and social justice.

In this presentation, I will begin by examining the prevailing and often contradictory education discourses in Europe. I will look at how we conceptualise education itself, both its intended objectives and its processes, as well as how we view our roles as educators trying to navigate within the contested space of higher education. I will then go on to discuss how universities can help build fairer, more inclusive and democratic societies that provide a dignified life for everyone on the planet. Drawing on critical pedagogies and interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives, I will emphasise the collective dimension of learning, as well as the importance of embracing epistemological diversity and critical literacy in order to foster a democratic ethos which understands education as an instrument for social change. I will argue that such a system of empowered individuals striving towards a shared vision can lead to increased resiliency in learners, educators, institutions, and the communities with which they are engaged. Along the way, I will draw on my own experiences as a practitioner in the field and offer some examples of integrating community-engaged practices into higher education curricula.

Transdisciplinarity in Education
Keynote Presentation: Nick Tyler

The 20th century has seen a general increase in the number of disciplines that can be distinguished in the world at large, and thus in the offer to be found in educational institutions around the world. Undoubtedly we are a long way away from the "Natural Philosophy" of a few centuries ago – and even from the title of the first Professor of Engineering in England, John Millington, the "Professor of Engineering and the Application of Mechanical Philosophy to the Arts" at UCL at its foundation in 1827. Perhaps it is the increase in capability of analysis that has driven this trend – the ritual taking apart of concepts that characterises 'analysis' – but the question is whether this is actually helpful for the world in the 21st century. Given the overarching complexity of the world in which we now live, such analysis is destined to be unhelpful – the effects of one discipline on another become too complex to analyse at any world-meaning scale. Now, we realise that systems are inherently complex and that perhaps a better model for the world's functionality is that of a biological interactive organism rather than a non-reactive physical structure. This realisation has the potential to change education in universities, for example, where the meaning of university might have become tied to the idea of separate universes of many disciplines, and now might need to be something more of the all-embracing universe of a vital organism composed of many other organisms. This talk discusses the implications of this shift for universities, in how they work, are organised and are designed.

Steve Cornwell (1956-2022)
The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) & Osaka Jogakuin University, Japan

Obituary: Professor Steve Cornwell (1956-2022)

President of IAFOR (2016-2022)

It is with great sadness that we write of the passing of the President of IAFOR, Professor Steve Cornwell, who died of cancer earlier this week in Osaka, Japan. He was Chairman of the International Academic Advisory Board, and a member of the Board of Directors. He was also until March of this year Vice-President of Osaka Jogakuin University. Before moving to Japan and becoming an academic he held a number of management positions in non-profit organisations in the arts and theatre sectors in the United States.

An extremely popular professor, as well as a highly capable senior administrator, Steve Cornwell was one of IAFOR’s earliest and strongest supporters. As a Professor of English and Interdisciplinary Studies he identified strongly with our core mission of encouraging interdisciplinary discussion, facilitating intercultural awareness, and promoting international exchange.

He was a respected academic in the field of English language teaching, holding an MA in English from Wake Forest University, an MFA from Virginia Tech., an MAT from the School for International Training, and an EdD from Temple University. He also taught on the MATESOL program for The New School in New York, and was engaged with teacher professional development both in Japan and abroad, serving in many roles both local and national with the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT), including three terms on its National Board of Directors, as Director of Programme from 2010 to 2016. He also worked closely with the Bangladesh English Language Teaching Association (BELTA) for several years, jointly putting on professional development events for English teachers in Bangladesh.

From 2009, Professor Cornwell helped nurture and shape IAFOR, bringing to bear a wealth of experience in directing academic institutions, international programmes, and administering NPOs. He helped guide IAFOR’s Osaka conferences from 2010 onwards as the local conference chair, and was a popular face at events, often leading the traditional welcome address, and telling overseas delegates how much better his beloved Osaka was than Tokyo.

A founding member of the International Advisory Board of IAFOR, he became steadily more involved with the organisation over the years. Following the death of the Reverend Professor Stuart Picken in 2016, Steve Cornwell agreed to become the Chair of the restructured International Academic Advisory Board, and President of the organisation.

His input, insight and deliberation was indispensable in guiding IAFOR through challenging times, notably the 2011 earthquake and nuclear crisis, and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Professor Cornwell was an educational leader of great resolve, but with enormous kindness and unwavering integrity. He was a man of great resilience, and despite suffering the tragedy of his wife’s death in 2019, whom he loved dearly, and his own cancer diagnosis, he continued to embrace life with dignity and humour. He was a loyal and true friend to many, seeing and encouraging the best in them.

His memory will live on in the hearts and minds of his many friends and colleagues, and in the thousands of students he taught and inspired.
