CALL FOR PAPERS AND 
CONFERENCE REGISTRATION
What 
is Higher Education for? Shared and contested ambitions
Celtic 
Manor, Newport in South Wales, United Kingdom
 Dear 
Colleagues,
The Society warmly 
invites contributions for its Annual Research Conference 2012.
 Call for Papers 
available to download now at this link:
The Conference 
welcomes papers relating to further, higher, undergraduate, postgraduate and 
professional education in a wide range of research domains.
The Society’s Annual 
Conference is a truly international event bringing together delegates and 
contributors from over 40 countries. We hope researchers and scholars from the 
many forms of higher education globally and in the UK will contribute to this 
Conference, stimulating international debate on the way in which higher 
education is responding to economic, social and political and cultural pressures 
and both re-defining and re-asserting its nature and purpose. As higher 
education researchers, we aim to provide significant, meaningful research 
insights and knowledge to inform and guide universities, governments and 
societies.
This year’s 
conference will examine many perspectives on the role and value of higher 
education and explore ways in which research into higher education can support 
and strengthen shared ambitions and illuminate contested ones by taking a broad 
and multi-faceted view of the nature and purposes of higher 
education.
The SRHE Annual 
Conference provides a major platform for the presentation and sharing of 
research in every aspect of higher education and is a highly participative 
event, offering a range of plenaries and smaller discussion groups and 
seminars.
You are invited to 
contribute to this debate in a variety of ways: by presenting a paper, sharing 
in a symposium, including work of a conceptual or theoretical nature, or 
organising a round table on any aspect of this year’s theme or your own research 
interests. Empirical and scholarly research from a wide range of perspectives is 
welcome. Registrations from delegates not presenting work this year are warmly 
welcomed. 
The deadline for 
submission of proposals is Friday 29 June 2012
This timetable will 
enable all submitting authors to receive early notification of papers accepted 
and take full advantage of early booking discounts.
We look forward once 
again to receiving your proposals and to another very successful conference at 
the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales, UK and I encourage you to submit your 
work and register for the conference as soon as possible. 
Registration by 30 September 2012 will guarantee accommodation at the world 
famous Celtic Manor resort (rather than adjacent hotels) and attracts important 
early registration discounts. 
You will find all 
the information you need on making a submission on the Conference website 
Conference 
registration is now open.
If you have any 
additional enquiries or any difficulty accessing the Call for papers please 
email the Society at srheconferenceteam@srhe.ac.uk
We hope that you 
will contribute a paper and participate in this conference and look forward to 
seeing you in December 2012.
SRHE 
Newer Researchers' Conference 11 December 2012
The SRHE Newer 
Researchers' Conference on the same theme will take place at the Celtic Manor 
one day in advance of the Annual Research Conference.
This is an excellent 
event for postgraduate students and newer researchers, providing the opportunity 
to present research work in a nurturing environment and participate in a number 
of seminars and discussions. The Call for Papers for this Conference will be 
issued shortly and the timetable for submissions and registration are later for 
this smaller conference.
The SRHE Annual
