Welcome
PROPOSALS:
The 2011 AERA meeting will be in New Orleans, where the theme will be “Inciting the Social Imagination: Education Research for the Public Good.” The conference is encouraging submissions “that employ situated perspectives and dynamic conceptions of institutions and communities, as well as their members and practices.”
We think this theme fits especially well with our SIG’s emphasis on grassroots community and youth organizing and our desire to showcase research that is integrated with the voices of communities and youth.
Proposals are due July 15, 2010 and must be submitted online at www.aera.net through the regular submission process. When prompted select the Special Interest Group (SIG) Grassroots Community and Youth Organizing.
