Call for Papers – Globalization, Diversity, & Education Conference

February 27-28, 2014

10th International Globalization, Diversity, and Education Conference
Activism and Education: Learning With(In) Lived Experiences.

Washington State University

Join us for the 10th Annual Conference and workshops February 27-28, 2014, at Northern Quest Resort in Airway Heights, (Spokane) WA.  This year we will focus on the theme of Activism and Education: Learning with(in) Lived Experiences.  This conference is committed to engaging activists, educators, and scholars from diverse disciplines in deep and meaningful dialogues around what we can do together to address and engage in alleviating and/or eliminating current social and environmental injustices in our local, national, and international communities.

Award-winning Seattle filmmaker Jill Freidberg spent two years in southern Mexico documenting the efforts of more than 100,000 teachers, parents, and students fighting to defend to country’s public education system from the devastating impacts of economic globalization. Freidberg combines footage of strikes and direction actions with 25 years worth of never-before-seen archival images to deliver a compelling and unsettling story of resistance, repression, commitment, and solidarity.

For over 20 years, global economic forces have been dismantling public education in Mexico, but always in the constant shadow of popular resistance…  Granito de Arena is the story of that resistance – the story of hundreds of thousands of public schoolteachers whose grassroots, non-violent movement took Mexico by surprise, and who have endured brutal repression in their 25-year struggle for social and economic justice in Mexico’s public schools

Proposal deadline: December 6, 2013

Paper and Panel Presentations:  Please submit your proposal clearly explaining the presentation and its relationship to the conference. What is the question or problem that is being addressed?  Who are the primary scholarly sources being drawn upon to frame the discussion?

Alternative Sessions/Workshops:  Propose something alternative to traditional conference sessions or host a workshop!  This should be a hands-on session dealing with an important issue related to the conference theme. Proposals should describe a) what the session will be about, b) what the objectives of the session are, and c) how participants will be involved.

To submit a proposal:

  • Use the attached form

Send as an attachment to: khammer@wsu.edu or Send by mail to: Globalization, Diversity & Education Conference

CATE Polygraph Series

Good Afternoon CATE Folks       
 
In 2009 CATE started a book series dedicated to research and scholarship on teacher education within the Canadian context: “Canadian Research in Teacher Education: A Polygraph Series”. The Series has the purpose of supporting teacher education practices and research in teacher education in and across Canada.
 
1.    The publications within the Series are themed books, creating a series that allows a focused contribution to the Canadian teacher education discourse and teacher education practice.
2.    The books will be polygraphs (‘polygraph’ = many writings) rather than monographs, to allow a range of scholars to contribute to the same theme.
3.    The series of volumes will be available in electronic form on the CATE website (https://sites.google.com/site/cssecate/home), allowing easy access and the quick publication of the respective Canadian scholarship in teacher education.
 
So far three volumes have been published, which can be downloaded from the following site: https://sites.google.com/site/cssecate/polygraph-book-series.
 
The CATE Executive invites you – possibly in collaboration with some of your colleagues – to consider a book publication in the CATE Polygraph Series within the area of your expertise as a teacher education scholar. The attached “Guidelines for Prospectus” document is to help you in the development of a prospectus for a book in the Series. For any preliminary inquiries, please feel free to contact me. Guidelines for Prospectus (June 2012)

Conference – Graduate Students and Graduate Student Supervisors in Science Education

Dear colleagues in science education,

An important part of graduate studies (at both a master’s and doctoral level) is sharing your work and ideas with others.  Whether you are just beginning your graduate work and are new to conference presentations, or are very comfortable with the conference ‘scene’; we invite you to consider submitting a proposal to CSSE (Canadian Society for Studies in Education) through the Science Education Research Group (SERG) and / or through the Canadian Committee of Graduate Students in Education (CCGSE).

2014 Conference Details

24-28 May

Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario.

http://www.csse-scee.ca/conference/

Application Process

If you are a graduate student working in science education, you are eligible to submit a proposal to:

1) Science Education Research Group (SERG) AND

2) Canadian Committee of Graduate Students in Education (CCGSE).

This provides you the opportunity to give two presentations at the same conference, should you wish to do so.  Please note that you cannot submit the same proposal to both SERG and CCGSE.

In order to provide graduate students an open and welcoming environment for them to share their work, only graduate students can submit proposals to CCGSE. All submissions will be reviewed and feedback will be provided.  To find out more about applying to CCGSE, please go to http://www.csse-scee.ca/conference/

SERG receives proposals from graduate students and faculty working in science education.  Proposals will be subject to peer review and feedback on your proposal will be provided.

The deadline for proposals to SERG is November 27, 2013.   Graduate students should also note that there are graduate student awards available through SERG that assist with conference registration or other costs.  For more information on these awards or on how to submit a paper to SERG for CSSE 2014, please go to:  http://www.sergcanada.ca/

Personally, I had a great experience at CSSE last year.  As a master’s student at my first national conference I was initially nervous about applying and presenting, but I am so glad I did!  I presented my work at a round table session and it was a really valuable experience for me because I not only got to present my ideas and research, but I got great feedback and suggestions from the grad students and faculty that attended my session. If you would like to read about graduate students’ experiences at the CSSE 2013 Conference, we will be posting comments from grad students on our website in the following weeks. (http://www.sergcanada.ca/)

Please consider talking to your supervisor(s) about CSSE.  The conference is an excellent opportunity to share your ideas and research, find out about emerging research, and meet graduate students and faculty from across Canada who are working in science education.

Best wishes with your work and we hope to see you at Brock University in May, 2014!  We would also ask that you please forward this email on to colleagues who you think may be interested.

Sincerely,

Carol Brown

This year we will focus on the theme of Activism and Education: Learning with(in) Lived Experiences.  This gathering is committed to engaging activists, educators, and scholars from diverse disciplines in deep and meaningful dialogues around what we can do together to address and engage in alleviating and/or eliminating current social and environmental injustices in our local, national, and international communities.  With a focus on responsibilities, connections, and critical questions, we are especially interested in how we learn from each other and the diverse fields of nursing, critical disability studies, public health, education, special education, bilingual education, curriculum and instruction, geography, anthropology, social work, indigenous studies, post-colonialism, cultural studies, queer theory, place-based education and more.

Individual papers, panels and alternative sessions that may include film/documentary screenings, workshops, exhibitions, poster sessions, and other creative endeavors are invited.

We strongly encourage submissions in alternative and aesthetic formats. The goal of the conference organizers is to have sessions that encourage conversation among the participants and the audience.

Submission guidelines

Proposals for papers, panels, and alternative formats should not exceed 500 words.  Proposals will be judged on the quality of the narrative, relevance to the conference theme, and likely interest to our audience.  A program committee will evaluate proposals in an anonymous review process. Criteria for evaluation will include:

3.    Overall quality of the proposal

Individual Paper

Presenters of individual papers will be grouped into sessions (by the conference committee).  Paper sessions are approximately 60-75 minutes in length and will include an opportunity for audience conversation.  Each presenter will have approximately 15 minutes to present his or her work.

Panel Presentation

Panel presentations are a group of presenters that have been organized by a session chair around a theme of their choosing. Panels are more flexible than paper sessions in that panelists could discuss a topic as a group rather than giving individual papers. Panels will be scheduled for 60-75 minutes and must include time for audience participation.

Alternative presentation

Proposals for alternative presentations such as films, documentaries, performances, workshops or other creative endeavors are highly encouraged.  In your proposal please indicate the kind of presentation you will be doing and the time needed.  Shorter presentations, installations or exhibitions may be combined.
