Workshop: Critical Technological Pedagogies as Future Making
2021-12-10 09:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Paris) | ScrollBar, Rued Langgaardsvej 7, Kbh S, 2300, Denmark
ETHOS Lab will host a workshop to explore how the approaches we take in pedagogical design also tell us about the kind of digital future we want. The many decisions that go into building a learning environment for critical reflection on digital technologies include developing syllabi and learning exercises, creating spaces for formal and informal education, making choices of coding languages in coding clubs, etc. In these decisions technology education, we also imagine the digitalized societies of the future and the types of digitally savvy or computationally literate people we want youth to become.
The workshop will explore how the critical technological pedagogies we design take up youth as a site for imagining Denmark’s digital future. We will do this through a combination of storytelling and prototyping around “figures” that draw together ideals and values for the future. Participants will be invited to bring reflections on their teaching or education research experience.

Workshop: Open PhD Calls
2022-01-20 11:00 - 12:00 | ETHOS Lab, 3A30
Ever wondered how to read a PhD call for the important information? Wanted to apply but weren’t sure how to formulate a PhD proposal?

In ETHOS we are running a workshop tailored to the IT University of Copenhagen’s Open Call, where we will walk through the elements of a call for a PhD. The session takes place on January 20th, 11.00-12.00, and involves hands on work with open PhD calls, and a chance to work on your own ideas.
The workshop is facilitated by Rachel Douglas-Jones and Casper Blum Frohn, and they will provide you with workshop materials that help generate a feasible research proposal for a PhD project.
The workshop will take place in this online meeting space.

Register by sending a mail to ethos@itu.dk by January 17th.
