Call for papers: 68th Meeting of the SOUTHEAST PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY and the 60th Meeting of the SOUTH ATLANTIC PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY February 4-6, 2016 Asheville, NC

CFP For the 68th Meeting of the
SOUTHEAST PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY
and the 60th Meeting of the
SOUTH ATLANTIC PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY
February 4-6, 2016 Asheville, NC

We encourage you to participate in a joint meeting of the Southeast
Philosophy of Education Society (SEPES) and the South Atlantic
Philosophy of Education Society (SAPES) in Asheville, North Carolina,
February 4-6, 2016. Given the substantial challenges facing
educational institutions in general, and philosophical inquiry within
and about them in particular, we believe it is increasingly important
to create a space in which current and emerging scholars and
practitioners can engage in meaningful dialogue and discussion. To
that end, and building upon the long traditions of each organization
in providing a friendly forum for conversations concerning
philosophical ideas related to a broad variety of educational topics,
SEPES and SAPES invite you to submit proposals for our first joint
meeting.

While there is no particular theme to the conference, we are focusing
particularly on expanding participation in discussions concerning
foundational issues facing any and all aspects of PK-20 education.
Such expansion aims to include graduate students, practitioners, and
scholars who may not be affiliated with an education
foundations/philosophy of education program, but are interested in
engaging with philosophical ideas concerning education, broadly
defined, with those who are. Topics might include, but are not limited
to, the relationship between schooling and society; democracy and
education; issues of diversity and commonality in education; the
integration of theory and practice; neoliberalism, neoconservatism,
and conservative modernization in education; and methodological
approaches to education research.

Proposals should be no more than 500 words, excluding references, and
should be submitted online through the following link:

The presentation time for papers is approximately 15 to 20 minutes,
and presenters are responsible for bringing all required technology.
THE DEADLINE FOR RECEIVING PROPOSALS IS NOVEMBER 1, 2015. Please send
all questions to sepesociety@gmail.com.
