As contemporary education reform continues to transform public education, an opportunity to simultaneously self-reflect and collaborate across a variety of theoretical perspectives seems appropriate. Given the legacies within curriculum theory for these pursuits and the possible critical examination of their intersections, this year's conference offers an opportunity for scholarly work that examines and troubles the role of curriculum theory in an ever-shifting context through/within an examination of the experience of being and/or/with a move across disciplines. Collaboration, critique, and reflection are at the heart of such a process of curriculum theorizing and provide fertile ground for an exploration of both theoretical and material implications.
We invite teachers, students, scholars, theorists, administrators, and cultural workers to join us in this endeavor at the 2013 Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theory and Classroom Practice. Reflecting our commitment to advance understandings of curriculum and practice, this year's conference features speakers whose work challenges us to imagine new possibilities for curriculum and educational theorizing. The "Provoking Dialogue(s)" sessions return for a fourth year allowing for us to engage in communal discussion of new and classic curriculum texts. The conference also will feature diverse and dynamic all-conference sessions, nightly social and cultural events, and professional development opportunities targeted at current graduate students.
Organizers invite a wide range of submissions that revolve around, but are not limited to, the following categories:
- Cultural Studies and Curriculum
- International/Transnational Curriculum Discourses
- Literacies, Autobiography, and Curriculum History
- Higher Education and Curriculum Theorizing
- Curriculum Studies and Philosophical Perspectives
- Curriculum Theory, Classroom Practice, and Disciplinary Perspectives
