Reimagining the aims and boundaries of education through film. Reflections on the past , present and future role of film and arts at CIES.   
 
In this interactive session we reflect on the role of previous, present, and future film festivals within the Comparative and International Education Society.  As a community, we will speak with those involved in the creation and the curation of film in the spaces we work while also understanding how to position film (and more broadly arts and aesthetics) as an important space for comparative education scholarship and practice.  The morning session will feature comments by CIES film lovers, as well as snippets from the film festivals of the past and present.  The generative conversation will seek to explore ways to formalize the role of film in CIES specifically and the larger field more generally. (8.15 am CDT at Hilton)
