Intergenerational Learning for Just and Sustainable Communities Conference and Retreat

Intergenerational Learning for Just and Sustainable Communities
Conference and Retreat
Eastern Michigan University
College of Education
March 21-23, 2013

Join us for the second annual EcoJustice and Activism conference and
workshops March 21nd-23th, 2013 at Eastern Michigan University in
Ypsilanti, MI. This year we will focus on the theme of
Intergenerational Learning for Just and Sustainable Communities. We
are committed to engaging activists, educators, and scholars in deep
and meaningful discussion around what we can do together to address
current social and ecological crises threatening our communities. We
are especially interested in how we learn from our Elders, and what
intergenerational collaboration looks like.

The weekend will begin with a Keynote address on Thursday evening,
(speaker to be announced soon!) The format for the weekend has changes
slightly. We hope to encourage more interaction and conversation
between local activists, teachers and scholars with activist scholars
and educators from out of town by mixing up the format on both days.
Thus, we will have both workshops and panel presentations on both days
along with scheduled discussion forums.

Paper and Panel Presentations: Please send us a short one-page
abstract detailing the paper or panel presentation that you are
proposing. What is the question or problem that is being addressed?
How does it related to EcoJustice Education? Who are the primary
scholarly sources being drawn upon to frame the discussion. What are
the connections to activism? To intergenerational relationships?

Workshops: Propose a workshop! This should be a hands-on session
dealing with some social or ecological issue in our community, and
linking it directly to grassroots activism. Proposals should describe
1) what the session will be about, 2) what the objectives of the
session are, and 3) what general activities will be engaged (how
participants will be involved).

Deadline for Proposals: February 22nd (NOTE)

Conference Schedule

Thursday Evening March 21nd

Keynote Address by Malik Yakini, President, Detroit Black Community
Food Security Network

Travel and Accommodations:

Nearest Airport is Detroit Metro (DTW), about 20 minutes from
Ypsilanti. There is not easy travel from the airport to Ypsilanti
however, so renting a car is the best bet. If you let us know that you
are coming, we can help folks team up to rent together. A taxi will
cost about $50.00.

We may also be able to run a shuttle for you depending on when you
arrive. So let us know if an when your ETA is and we’ll do our best to
coordinate rides.

Train: Amtrak goes to Ann Arbor which is about 8 miles away. You could
take a cab from there to Ypsilanti for about $10.

Organization of Educational Historians--2013 Annual Meeting Call for Papers

Organization of Educational Historians
2013 Annual Conference
Chicago, IL—October 4-5
CONFERENCE THEME
Exploring Landscapes of Learning: Questions, Methods, and New Territories

This conference theme invites proposals to explore learning in all its
forms, to inquire into the vast array of settings, processes, and
kinds of learning found in the past. The range of potential topics is
meant to be construed broadly, as are the ranges of potential inquiry
questions, investigative techniques, and source materials. In the
landscapes around schools and other formal institutions, as well as in
the many landscapes that constitute human affairs, what kinds of
learning occur? Through what processes? How does learning aggregate
and accumulate to reshape landscapes over time (including its often
unexpected results)? By what means might historians identify and take
stock of the processes and products of learning? What implications
might efforts to do so hold for historians’ perception and practice of
their work? Whether through case studies, synthetic interpretation,
historiographical and conceptual critique, or other modes of analysis,
the conference encourages inquiry and exploration of these and related
questions about education and learning in history.

Submission of Proposals
The conference is open to proposals for topics that are unrelated to
the theme. However, proposals that do address the theme will be given
priority consideration. Accepted proposals that address the conference
theme will be grouped into sessions held in the main meeting room that
accommodates larger audiences.

Proposals for papers, panels, symposia, and alternative formats should
be between 500-750 words. A proposal should restate the title of the
paper, describe its contents, discuss its significance, and include a
description of historical sources used. The proposal should contain no
information indicating the identities of participants. The proposal
must be accompanied by an abstract (composed of no more than 50 words)
and a cover sheet. The cover sheet will not be sent to proposal
reviewers. For fuller elaboration of presentation formats and
submission requirements, see the OEH website:
http://www.edhistorians.org/

Proposals must be submitted no later April 1, 2013. Proposals will be
accepted only as Word document attachments, received via e-mail. Send
proposals to the program chair, Dr. Glenn P. Lauzon, at
glauzon@iun.edu The e-mail message’s subject line should read: "OEH
2013 Proposal."

Blind Review and Notification: The OEH Program Committee will review
each proposal. Criteria for review include purpose of the
presentation, theoretical context/framework, contribution to the
field, and written presentation.

American Education History Journal: All papers presented at the annual
meeting can be submitted for peer review and possible publication in
the American Educational History Journal.
Registration: All individuals whose proposals are accepted are
required to pre-register for the conference.

Queer Studies in Ed Series



Description: Palgrave Macmillan                                                         NEW SERIES
Queer Studies and Education
LGBTQ social, cultural, and political issues have become a defining feature of twenty-first century life, transforming on a global scale any number of institutions, including the institution of education. Situated within the context of these major transformations, this series is home to the most compelling, innovative, and timely scholarship emerging at the intersection of queer studies and education. Across a broad range of educational topics and locations, books in this series incorporate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex categories, as well as scholarship in queer theory arising out of the postmodern turn in sexuality studies. The series is wide-ranging in terms of disciplinary/theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, and will include and illuminate much needed intersectional scholarship. Always bold in outlook, the series also welcomes projects that challenge any number of normalizing tendencies within academic scholarship—from works that move beyond established frameworks of knowledge production within LGBTQ educational research to works that expand the range of what is institutionally defined within the field of education as relevant queer studies scholarship.




Series editors:
William F. Pinar is Professor, Canada Research Chair at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He is the author, most recently, of Curriculum Studies in the United States: Present Circumstances, Intellectual Histories (2012).
Nelson M. Rodriguez is Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at The College of New Jersey, where he teaches courses in queer and gender studies.

Pinar). His forthcoming book (with Cris Mayo) is Queer Pedagogies: Theory, Praxis, Politics.
Ugena Whitlock is Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction and Gender and Women’s Studies at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. She is also currently Associate Chair of the Interdisciplinary Studies Department. She is the author of This Corner of Canaan: Curriculum Studies of Place and the Reconstruction of the South and editor of the forthcoming collection Queer South Rising: Voices of a Contested Place. Her research focuses on reconstructing self and society within contexts of place, drawing from her experiences growing up in a working-class, fundamentalist Christian family in the South.
