Meaningful Metamorphoses: Navigating Learning and Instruction in/for Times of Change

University of Augsburg, March 25-27, 2026

Pressing challenges threatening intellectual freedom are rising on a global scale and underscore the importance of safeguarding academic research, education, and social engagement. The current era’s volatility and the necessity for educational practices to both respond to and anticipate ongoing shifts call for the enactment of meaningful metamorphoses in a wide range of educational, social, and political landscapes. Such intentional and significant transformations (i.e. metamorphoses) imply profound change and highlight the active role of educators, researchers, and learners in steering through the complexities of educational processes, emphasising not only adaptability but also agentic actions and resistance.

Very importantly, calls for meaningful metamorphoses resonate across diverse domains of educational research. They may problematise how learning is co-constructed in social contexts that are themselves reshaped by global uncertainty, as well as bring a critical lens to the research methods we use to study learning. They may emphasise the need to navigate transformation with sensitivity to equity and inclusion and even challenge the conceptual tools to interpret and reimagine the very foundations of educational practices. Taken together, these intellectual enterprises illuminate how meaningful metamorphoses in education require not only practical shifts but also theoretical, methodological, and ethical engagement. In this light, navigating learning and instruction in/for times of change becomes both a challenge and a collective responsibility.

The EARLI SIG 10, SIG 17, SIG 21 and SIG 25 are organising a joint conference with the theme “Meaningful Metamorphoses: Navigating Learning and Instruction in/for Times of Change”. We invite researchers and practitioners to engage in rich dialogue, critical reflection, and collaborative exploration with a variety of contributions on how learning and instruction can be rethought and reconfigured in response to contemporary challenges.
