Type one or more search terms into the search box and click on the search button.
The search engine does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase letters.
A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"
Truncation
Use * for truncation of search terms. A search term does not always have to be entered in its complete form. Search terms may be truncated from left or right.
Eg. Tanza* or even *anza*
Prioritizing Words
Plus marks a word as necessary. By preceding a word or a phrase with a plus sign, you tell the search engine that you are only looking for documents that contain that word/phrase.
Eg. +policy +activities
Word Exclusion
Minus marks a word as not wanted. By preceding a word or phrase with a minus sign, you tell the search engine to exclude that word/phrase and only to look for documents that match the rest of the query.
Eg. nordic -africa –institute

The Association of Research on Education and Knowledge (Association de Recherche sur l’Education et les Savoirs – ARES) propose to organize a panel on the theme of “Education, knowledge and mobility in Africa”. Here, “mobility” refers to its geographical meaning (residential mobility, migration, relocation…), and “Africa” refers to its larger extent (including Maghreb and Mashrek).
Firstly, the panel would be to focus, from a shared thematic field, on issues which have usually been dealt with separately (school mobility, student mobility, child fosterage, nomadism, circulation of knowledge…). Secondly, our aim is to give visibility to the research studies on education and knowledge in Africa, as no previous panel has covered this specific issue in the former ECAS. We argue that education (and knowledge) is a crucial issue to understand the current changes on the continent. This meeting would also encourage an exchange of ideas and partnership between researchers who work on close or related thematic fields in the area of education and knowledge from the perspective of mobility. We suggest three possible themes to explore the links between education, knowledge and mobility in Africa: a first line would explore how education/knowledge triggers mobility. Secondly we would question how mobility impacts on education and on the construction, the ownership or the monopoly of knowledge. Thirdly we would deal with the specific case of student mobility.
