The conference will be focused on the development of holistic depictions of academic careers - ones conceptualized as more than teaching and/or research. We seek a wide range of creative responses to this idea, but initial suggestions include academic practice as career development, mentoring, academic climate, relationships between academic work and wider life, academic writing and discourse, and emotions or affect in academic work.

Are you undertaking educational research or evaluating an aspect of learning and teaching in engineering? Would you like find out more about how to publish your ideas and findings? Or perhaps you would like some guidance for writing papers for conferences such as EE2010. This will be an opportunity for you to work through your ideas with experienced facilitators and other engineering academics.
