CHER Annual Conference "Theories and Methods in Higher Education Research."

More than 180 higher education researchers from around the world will gather at the University of Kassel Aug. 28-30 for the start of the 32nd annual meeting of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER). The conference is hosted by the International Centre for Higher Education Research Kassel. The theme of this year's conference is "Theories and Methods of Higher Education Research ".
The conference has two goals: First, to critically discuss theories and methods of higher education research, and second, to discuss the relevance of recent theoretical and methodological developments in other disciplines and interdisciplinary research areas for higher education research. Research questions will be discussed from a theoretical, methodological, and nexus of theories and methods perspective. In addition, two open tracks provide space for contributions that do not specifically fit the three perspectives and are not explicitly related to the main theme of the conference.

Three days of intensive exchange of ideas, 109 presentations and discussions, and a poster session lie ahead for conference participants. More than 180 people are participating in this year's CHER conference. They come from more than 30 countries, including a remarkably high number of Asian participants. Also part of the conference are the CHER General Assembly on Wednesday evening and an atmospheric dinner on Thursday evening at the Alte Brüderkirche, a historic Gothic church dating back to 1298 in Kassel, Germany.
