GERIF-newsletter 2/2019 Dear members of the GERIF network, In this short newsletter, we would like to remind you of current activities within the network. REMINDER 1: PRESENTATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING WEBSITE The GERIF website is still under construction, but we hope to launch it soon. We kindly ask all of you who work as researchers to write a concise self-presentation including -your name, position & affiliation -your area(s) of research (max. five sentences) -a list of publications related to global education. The presentation should preferably be written both in English and in Finnish, but if you do not speak Finnish, only English is quite ok. In case you have open access publications, please include links to these publications. Please send your presentations to the following address: gerif1blog@gmail.com<mailto:gerif1blog@gmail.com> as soon as possible. The presentations will be published on the website. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us. REMINDER 2: FERA CONFERENCE AND THEMATIC GROUP ON GLOBAL EDUCATION 21-22.11.2019 We warmly invite all of you to participate in the FERA conference in Joensuu 21-22.11.2019.
