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

More than 180 higher education researchers from around the world will meet at the University of Kassel from August 28-30 for the start of the 32nd annual conference of the Consortium of Higher Education Researchers (CHER). The conference will be hosted by the International Center for Higher Education Research Kassel. The theme of this year's conference is "Theories and Methods of Higher Education Research".
The conference has two aims: 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 offer space for contributions that do not specifically fit into the three perspectives and are not explicitly linked to the main theme of the conference.

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