Calls for Papers / Proposals
------------------------------
1. The 58th Annual Meeting of the South Atlantic Philosophy of
Education Society (SAPES) will be held at Meredith College in Raleigh,
NC on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11- Oct. 12, 2013.
Conference Theme: Resistance, Resilience, and Recovery – Retaining a
Place for Education in Teacher Preparation
NEW Submission Deadline: June 15, 2013
As public funding for education decreases and economic pressures play
a powerful role in associating the value of schooling with job
preparation and global competition, alternative discourses about the
aims and purposes of education are increasingly marginalized and
ignored. This state of affairs extends to teacher preparation programs
as prescriptive standards and requirements continue to narrow the
scope of study available to degree-seeking pre- and in-service
teachers. The 58th annual SAPES conference would like to create a
space for a broader range of narratives concerning what education can
and should entail, particularly as it relates to the preparation and
ongoing professional development of P-12 teachers. We invite you to
locate and explore forms and sources of resistance and resilience in
the face of such mounting pressures to conform to narrow conceptions
of teaching and learning, and we hope to share with one another how
our educational practices might recover from these damaging trends.
While we invite proposals for papers to be submitted for presentation
at the annual SAPES meeting that address the conference theme, we also
welcome papers that focus on other philosophical topics and questions.
The program committee welcomes proposals in the field of philosophy of
education, social foundations of education, as well as related
conceptual and theoretical work. We particularly invite practitioners
to join us to explore the theoretical aspects and implications of
their work. Presented papers will be eligible for publication in the
society’s yearbook. Recent yearbooks can be viewed online at
http://sapes.org/publications.
