REMAP expert meeting

The REMAP-project organizes an expert-meeting that is aimed at developing a Companion to Meaningful Reading, which will help university and high school teachers incorporate meaningful reading practices into their courses. Meaningful reading practices imply that literary, philosophical, and historical texts are read for personal meaning and intellectual and moral growth more than for disciplinary purposes.

Representatives from the four partner universities – University of Navarra, University of Amsterdam, University of Latvia, and Bratislava International School of Liberal Arts – and the highschool Ayalde, will present drafts of their chapters. Topics will include: theoretical foundations and reading techniques, best practices, genres, and themes.

Confirmed keynote speakers:

Karen Bohlin, Director of the Practical Wisdom Project at the Abigail Adams Institute

Edward Brooks, Director of the Oxford Character Project

Olivia Fialho, Senior researcher in empirical and computational literary studies, Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences
