Conferences

I'm interested in attending a couple of conferences next year. The first one sounds very exciting:

The theme is ‘digital difference’. ‘Cyberspace’ seems now to be a term belonging to an earlier era of internet thinking, one in which the separateness of the digital was its main determining feature. In the contexts of higher education, is it still helpful (was it ever helpful?) for us to think of technologies for learning as offering a space of radical difference from the realities, materialities and orthodoxies of conventional practice?
Abstracts are invited which explore, extend, challenge or affirm this question of digital difference.

This seems to correlate strongly with my interests! http://www.education.ed.ac.uk/ice3/

The other conference is on qualitative research, from a postmodern perspective (which will be refreshing, compared to the positivist qualitative conference I attended this year). It's website is: http://www.qi2007.org/
