Threshold Concepts 2023: "Roads Less Travelled"

Call for Papers 2023

Date 4-6^th July 2023

Location: Charles Sturt University, Port Macquarie Campus, NSW, Australia (google map link)

Theme: Threshold Concepts: Roads Less Travelled

The 2023 Threshold Concepts Biannual International Conference is a special one. It marks twenty years since the original 2003 Threshold Concepts paper by Eric Meyer and Ray Land. In the intervening time, Threshold Concepts have become an accessible way of conceptualising learning, and the barriers to mastery that learners encounter. We are taking inspiration from Julie Timmerman’s (2023) provocative question, “Do thresholds always propel us outward, forward, and towards an identified threshold, or might they reveal alternative and unanticipated landscapes for transformation?” 

We propose an exploration of movement “outward, forward, and towards” threshold concepts, and the journeys we undertake as learners and researchers. These pathways may be known or unknown, familiar or alien, hidden or exposed. We have identified a number of subthemes, which you may interpret according to your context.

• Inter(tidal)disciplinary Zones
• Learning Spaces and Places 
• Cultures of Engagement and Connectivity
• UnOthering 
• Liminality 

We invite you to submit proposals under one of the subthemes and we look forward to seeing you in Port Macquarie in July 2023 to celebrate twenty years of Threshold Concepts. #9BiTCC2023
