Journal of Curriculum Theorizing

This award is presented to one graduate student in recognition of an outstanding paper presented at the 2008 Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theorizing. This award recognizes the innovative scholarship of one student whose work expands upon the themes of this year’s conference, including its commitment to complicated conversations, building connections across differences, and encouraging cross-fertilization of ideas to nurture new scholarship, generate fresh meanings, and enable personal and cultural transformation. The award encourages the participation of emerging scholars in promoting new ideas in emergence, disseminating voices from the margin, and welcomes all viewpoints in forming a shared community of dissensus around issues of curriculum, its theories and practices.

Procedure: Interested graduate students should submit a proposal to the conference by July 15, 2008.
Proposals must be accepted for presentation at the October 2008 Bergamo Conference on Curriculum
Theorizing and Classroom Practice. The completed paper must be submitted by 5 PM October 1, 2008 via email to bparker@jctonline.org. Submissions must be single-authored by the graduate student and may not exceed more than 20 pages (excluding references, tables, appendices). Names and university affiliation should appear only on the cover sheet for blind review. Papers must be in APA or Chicago citation style. If no paper is identified that meets the criteria of the award, no awards will be given for that year.

Award: Publication in April 2009 Journal of Curriculum Theorizing and recognition at the conference. Details regarding the specific issue of publication will be dealt with by the author of the winning paper and the editors of the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing.
