BAICE Annual ECR Conference 2025, Sept 14 (Online) Sept 15 (In-person)

Welcome to the 2025 BAICE Annual ECR Hybrid Conference entitled "Knowledge, Power, and Possibility: Rethinking Education in the Memory of Dr. Arif Naveed". This year’s conference will take place both online (14th of September 2025) and in-person (15th of September 2025) at the Department of Education, University of Oxford.

Honouring the memory of Dr. Arif Naveed, whose work on inequality, education mobility, and social justice in the Global South continues to inspire critical and transformative scholarship. In his spirit, this year's conference will feature early career researchers to question dominant paradigms, explore alternative ways of knowing, and imagine more just educational futures.

Drawing on Dr. Naveed’s spirit and ideas, this conference blends conferencing, un-conferencing, and collective gathering with the aim of fostering bold, innovative, and thoughtful conversations. Dr. Naveed was a tireless advocate for emerging scholars. He founded the BAICE Student Committee, helped launch the Student Fieldwork Grant, and co-hosted the 2016 Student Conference, which saw the publication of the piece ‘Understanding, embracing and reflecting upon the messiness of doctoral fieldwork’ along with his colleagues, an idea conceived from the Compare Forum.
