Keynotes and Featured Sessions

Keynote speaker

Professor David Perkins
Harvard Graduate School of Education

David is a senior professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a founding member of Project Zero. David was an international consultant to the ETL project which provided an impetus for research into the area of threshold concepts. His research – in particular in describing the notion of 'troublesome knowledge' (knowledge that is conceptually difficult, counter-intuitive or 'alien') has played an important role in informing the development of the notion of threshold concepts.
