American philosophy scholar Professor Theodore Schatzki will be a special guest at Charles Sturt University (CSU) later this month during a three-week visit to Wagga Wagga. “Professor Schatzki’s visit is significant for Charles Sturt University because he is a world-leading philosopher of practice, helping to develop new ways to understand the way the social world is organised,” said Professor of Education at CSU Stephen Kemmis. The Professor of Philosophy from the University of Kentucky is a guest of CSU’s Research Institute for Professional Practice, Learning and Education (RIPPLE).  Professor Schatzki will address the Institute’s annual research conference to be held on Wednesday 15 and Thursday 16 June. The conference involves some of RIPPLE’s 35 academics involved in research to support a range of professions including family day care, childcare, preschools, schools, the vocational education and training sector, business and management, nursing and allied health professions. Professor Schatzki will give a free public lecture at the annual RIPPLE conference in the Convention Centre at CSU in Wagga Wagga from 3.30pm to 4.45pm on Thursday 16 June. He will also meet academics from the School of Education at CSU in Wagga Wagga from 9am to 12midday on Friday 17 June.
