Peace Education SIG, AERA: Call for Papers
San Diego, California, April 13 - April 17, 2009
The Peace Education Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association warmly invites you to submit a proposal for the Annual General Meeting of the American Educational Research Association in San Diego, April 2009. The theme of the conference is “Disciplined Inquiry: Education Research in the Circle of Knowledge.”
The conference call explains:
At a time when knowledge creation and use require spanning boundaries between academic disciplines, education researchers can take pride in their long tradition of multidisciplinary work. AERA’s 2009 Annual Meeting will celebrate this tradition and look ahead to assess new ways that education research and disciplinary inquiry might be more effectively integrated.
We welcome research papers from a very wide range of theoretical, methodological, experiential and international perspectives that represent theoretical advance; that analyze the social, cultural, political, historical and economical contexts within which peace education develops; that probe into the epistemology which nourishes its development and practice that reflect the variety of educational contexts in which peace education is practiced and that address issues of practice and advocacy which arise in connection with the promotion and institutionalization of peace education. We encourage you to indicate in your proposal your engagement with the peace education literature and to clearly demonstrate the wider lessons that can be learned from your particular context. We particularly welcome papers that draw on research data and that reflect the conference theme of discipline-related inquiry.
Proposals should be submitted through the AERA proposal submission system (aera.net) and identified as for the Peace Education Special Interest Group.
The deadline for submissions is 1 August 2009.
Full instructions for submission are available on the AERA website. If you have any further questions about this Call for Papers please contact the Program Chair below.
