Abstract Deadline: 21st February 2025

We invite you to submit an abstract for an individual paper, poster or symposium for the ATEE Annual Conference 2025. This year’s theme, “The Making of Authentic Teachers in Ages of Artificiality?” will focus on the challenges of supporting the development of authentic teachers in the face of increasing pressures to sculpt and perform teacher identities responsive to shifting social and technical environments.

Conference Sub-themes

Submissions are welcome in the following sub-themes:

1. Performativity and Teaching
2. Teacher Identities

The conference will offer a unique opportunity to explore the concept of authenticity in teaching—aligning one's actions with one's true self—in an age characterized by hyper-diversity, globalisation, and developments in the technical realm, such as AI and social media.
