If you or someone you know is attending AERA in Philadelphia this year, please consider signing up for or sharing this Pre-Conference Workshop. Deadline to apply is January 31, 2014. And please send application materials to Karla Manning at [email protected]. AERA Vice-Presidential Graduate Student Pre-Conference Seminar: Marginalized Discourses in Curriculum Studies April 2, 2014 (1:00pm-5:00pm) and April 3, 2014 (9:00am-Noon) Carl Grant, U. Wisconsin, Lisa W. Loutzenheiser, U. British Columbia, Daniel Solorzano, U. California, and Kevin Lawrence Henry, Jr., U. Wisconsin Within our current historical juncture where calls for inclusivity and multiculturalism have been veneers for neoliberal machinations, gestures towards these efforts have often been ahistorical and politically inept. Curriculum studies, an interdisciplinary field for decades, has been attuned to the ways in which the linkages of power relations, culture, and race have an impact on the politics of knowledge and knowing. This seminar will focus on the richness and vibrancy of the intellectual traditions of marginalized scholars in educational thought and curriculum studies. This preconference session will explore the history and theories of education and curriculum by African American, Latino, Indigenous, Asian American, and Queer scholars. Much of the current discourse has focused on adding these voices to the canon and in doing so brings these theories into discussion with dominant discourses. What might an institutional, identity-based intersectionality look like? How might the nexus of, perhaps, divergent identity and culturally based intellectual traditions speak to, with, and through one another? That is to say, how do we push the epistemological, methodological, and pedagogical boundaries and borders of multiculturalism to a space where the siloing and singularity of each of these theories and traditions can be brought into conversation with one another with the expectation and vow that such conversations will lead to a richer and more diverse p/K-college curriculum, and in addition where such conversation(s) will lead to academic research that is of great use and enlightenment because it considers the knowledge gained from the intersection of multiple perspectives? How to Apply Deadline: Friday, Jan. 31, 2014, 4 p.m. Send the following application materials via email to the Lead Facilitator or requested contact for each preconference seminar, Karla Manning ([email protected]) : - a maximum one-page, single-spaced description of how your research relates to the seminar theme and description; - an up-to-date curriculum vitae; - full contact information including Department, University, and program you are in, e.g., Master’s or Ph.D. and the sub-area of your Department if applicable, your surface mail address with zip or post code, best telephone number, and email address.
