WHO IS INVITED
?
Both Research sem inars seek to engage a wide spectrum of people from the P4C and broader research com m unities :- Experienced P4C researchers - Graduate students
- Tenured professors - P4C practitioners
- Researchers in other fields who are interested in the field of philosophy for/with children and youth.
Many people are already engaged in high quality research within the P4C com m unity, however as a com m unity we have not had the forum s to share and learn from one another and to explore som e of the m eta-questions raised by research across our contexts. If you are intersted in this, then these sem inars are for you.

"These seminars provide an invaluable
opportunity for networking and building
community between experienced p4c
researchers and new researchers to the
field and amongst researchers in
For the last forty years, m any research studies related to Philosophy for Children (P4C) have been published and som e key m eta-reviews of these studies have been successfully undertaken and archived.
The intentions of the 2017 sem inars include:
- To explore which are the m ost im portant approaches to research in this area; to generate questions regarding these research
approaches and to critically and creatively engage with the im plications and dilem m as of these approaches.
- To explore som e specific philosophical questions about research issues in P4C: what counts as research in this particular field? How can P4C research be distinguished from other com m only used approaches to education or social research? Should it be? How do the differences am ong qualitative, quantitative, action and
philosophical research inform the kinds of research questions that get asked and answered in P4C? How do research studies of P4C support and/or challenge particular political ideologies of
education?
- To think together about how we can critically engage with these issues, support one another as researchers, and in turn support others (e.g. teachers, teacher educators, postgraduate students and academ ics) in designing and conducting rigorous research, whether philosophical, quantitative, qualitative or postqualitative.
PURPOSE
In collaboration with UAM, the 3 day seminar is approved as a 2ECTS credit. Receiving the certificate will require submission of a written assignment after the completion of the seminar. Participants can also enroll in the course not for credit.

INVESTIGATING APPROACHES TO RESEARCH
ON THE PRACTICE OF PHILOSOPHY
IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS
Th e sem in ar is or gan ized ar ou n d 3 st r an ds:
Questions in the philosophy of research:
This strand offers us the opportunity to inquire philosophically into research -- covering such issues as: what constitutes research in P4C, and the political and ethical problem s that arise in doing it.
Research methods in P4C:
This strand introduces us to a range of approaches to research and the tools that operationalize them . This will include philosophical, quantitative, qualitative,
action-research, teacher as researcher, grounded theory approaches and postqualitative m ethods. Together we will explore the kinds of questions to which the approach gives rise and be introduced to a sam ple of P4C research studies that have used these approaches.
Case Studies:
This strand engages us with case studies of research in which individuals or team s showcase their work with an eye to particular issues, questions and concerns. They will present the research questions they were trying to answer, the research m ethods they used, and questions that arose for them through the experience.

Cost:
Free
Th is on e day (9:00-5:00pm ) sem in ar is design ed f or exper ien ced r esear ch er s (t h eor et ical/ con cept u al an d em pir ical/ pr act ical) in Ph ilosoph y f or Ch ildr en .
The intention of this day is to
- philosophize about research issues in P4C, to generate questions regarding research
approaches and to critically and creatively engage with the im plications and dilem m as of these approaches, and think together about how we can critically engage with these issues;
- support one another as researchers, and in turn support others (e.g. teachers, teacher educators, postgraduate students and academ ics) in
designing and conducting rigorous research, whether philosophical, quantitative, qualitative or post-qualitative.
* NB. This seminar presumes knowledge of the current state of research in P4C. While not a pre-requisite, the Investigating Approaches to Research seminar is designed to provide a rich context from which to enter the Advanced Conversations seminar. The two seminars overlap for part of this day, with participants from both seminars coming together for morning of June 28th. Participants in the Investigating Approaches seminar are encouraged to stay on for the full day of the Advanced seminar.
- Com m ittee to develop an internet-based resource on research m ethodologies and tools for philosophy in educational
environm ents.
- Com m ittee to plan the first of a yearly ICPIC research m ethodologies sem inar.
Throughout the day there will be a sign-up sheet for people to volunteer to serve on the following new ICPIC Com m ittees:
