30th Annual Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theory and Classroom Practice

Curriculum in Motion: A Moment of Celebration, Critique and Contemplation

This award is presented to one graduate student in recognition of an outstanding paper presented at the 2009 Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theorizing and Classroom Practice. 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 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 August 15, 2009. Proposals must be accepted for presentation at the October 2009 Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theorizing and Classroom Practice. The completed paper must be submitted by 5 PM, October 9, 2009 via email to <dgspa @ 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

The winning paper will be recognized at the conference and published in a future issue of the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing. Details regarding the specific publication date will be determined by the editors of the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing in consultation with the author of the winning paper.
