Thirty-Fourth International Conference on Learning, Aristotle University of Thessalonki, Thessaloniki, Greece, 7-9 July 2027

Founded in 1989, The Learner Research Network is brought together around a common concern for learning in all its sites, formal and informal, and at all levels, from early childhood, to schools, colleges and universities, and adult, community and workplace education. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

2027 Special Focus—THE CYBER-SOCIAL CONDITION: Knowledge, Learning, and Human Futures

Theme 1: Histories of Technology
Theme 2: Knowledge Makers
Theme 3: Social Realities

The digital infrastructure in today’s world mirrors the colonial administrative structure with its control over data, policing user’s behavior, and pushing narratives for the majoritarian political power. The global tech giants have as much sway in geopolitics as the global leaders themselves. Previously the conditions of colonization created an unequal economic infrastructure that marginalizes the local communities, and even after independence from the colonial power, the trade relations remain that of a colonial appendage. Similarly, the upkeep of the digital sphere is not without its economic and environmental hazards.

NeMLA's 58th Annual Convention

March 6-9, 2027, Salve Regina University, Newport, RI

This panel invites proposals exploring how rhetoric and composition scholars and teachers can develop what bell hooks, Paulo Freire, and other educators in the field call critical consciousness, or our ability to recognize and analyze oppressive political, economic, and social forces shaping society and to take action. Critical consciousness provides a foundation for cultivating students’ civic reasoning and civic literacy skills across diverse institutional and disciplinary contexts.

At this moment in higher education—as our students wrestle with digital distractions, a deeply competitive job market, rising loneliness, and the complex role of GenAI in their academic lives—it is worth remembering that “educational relationships are central to student learning, motivation, well-being, and persistence” (Jibilian 4 May 2025; Puckett and Felten 2026).

We are pleased to announce a Special Call for Book Chapters for the forthcoming edited volume Beyond Pathology: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Dementia Studies in Humanities, which brings together interdisciplinary humanities scholarship that reconceptualises dementia through diverse representations of lived, narrated, and mediated experiences of the condition.
