The University of Bucharest, in collaboration with CIVIS, CIVICA and King’s College London, is pleased to announce the international conference **Reflexivity in Higher Education: Liberation or Entrapment?** The event will serve as a platform for scholars, academics, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students to explore and debate the role of reflexivity in higher education.

Reflexivity in the academe, the practice of self-examination and self-centred critical reflection regarding the organisation, governance, and activities of the university (including teaching and learning), is a crucial, albeit difficult to grasp, component of the higher education intellectual and policy milieu. This conference aims to investigate whether reflexivity acts as a vehicle for liberation, fostering innovation and individual and institutional advancements, or as a potential trap that complicates decision-making processes, policy implementation, or action altogether.

### Key themes and topics

- Theoretical frameworks and approaches to reflexivity in higher education
- Reflexivity in teaching and learning practices
- The impact of reflexivity on educational policy and governance
- Case studies and practical applications of reflexive practices in universities
- Reflexivity in higher education contexts: challenges and opportunities

[check here the eVent's agenda](/storage/files/civis-civica-conference-agenda-14-15-october-2024-2.pdf)

The conference will include a series of *keynote speeches, presentations, roundtables, and panel discussions* on the mentioned topics. These sessions are designed to foster dynamic interactions and in-depth discussions among participants, providing a comprehensive exploration of the complexities of reflexivity in higher education.
