Le 26 juin 2017, j'ai eu le privilège de présenter à Fribourg la conférence introductive du Congrès de la Société Suisse pour la Recherche en Education (SSRE). Cette année, le thème du congrès était "Les temps de l'éducation et de la formation"; l'occasion pour moi d'exposer trois thèses centrales dans mes recherches sur les temporalités de l'éducation, afin d'engager le dialogue avec les participants de ce colloque. Les enregistrements vidéo de mon intervention figurent ci-dessous.

On June 4th 2017, I was invited by the AEGIS for Life Alumni organization to be the featured speaker at the Second Annual Jack Mezirow Lecture, held at Teachers College, Columbia University. During this lecture I engaged the audience in a reflection around the complexity of the temporalities involved in adult learning. I suggested that we observe and question the conflicting rhythms that pace what we do, how we think, who we are, and how we develop ourselves.

Following a conference on transformative learning at the University of Edinburgh, I explore how some of the themes presented (cultural differences in higher education, high impact learning, technology-enhanced pedagogy, collaborative close reading) relate to the experience of rhythmic dilemmas. Doing so, I question how educators can take them into consideration in their praxis, so that such temporal tensions become a source of meaningful learning or transformation.

If the experience of violence constitutes a crucial expression of power dynamics in school, then the rhythmic awareness of how it may evolve through time constitutes a critical tool for school management.
