			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Call for Manuscripts</strong></p>
<p><em> </em><strong><em>Difficult Returns: Curriculum History Disrupted</em></strong></p>
<p>Special Issue of <em>Journal for Curriculum Theorizing</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>Guest Editors:</strong> Ann G. Winfield (Roger Williams University) and Petra Munro Hendry (Louisiana State University)</p>
<p>The reconceptualization of curriculum studies has long acknowledged the necessity of historical perspective for the purpose of revealing the ways in which history is, and has been, used to codify socio-political/ideological context. However, we maintain that the reconceptualist move to deconstruct curriculum history has struggled to extricate itself from progressive axioms which are wedded to a teleology of reason, a form of “high modernism.” Consequently, we must <span id="more-995"></span>return to the difficult terrain of extricating curriculum history in ways which disrupt it from the normative tenets of modernism. As we return to the project of reconceptualizing curriculum history we utilize a remembrance pedagogy which challenges us to live not <em>in</em> the past but <em>in relation with</em> the past, acknowledging the claim that the past has on the present (Simon, Rosenberg, and Eppert 2000). This return will require new theorizing regarding the normative tropes of modernism and the extent to which linear narratives and positivistic aspirations for a ‘science’ of history have allowed the field of curriculum studies to become increasingly ahistorical. We find this ahistoricism problematic, resulting in a false neutrality which has served to deintellectualize and depoliticize the curriculum field at the same time as it casts historical work as either a form of nostalgia or complicit in the maintenance of the grand narratives.  Our hope for this special issue is to disrupt history and engage in a difficult return to the work of reconceptualizing curriculum history.</p>
<p>The implications of a “new” curriculum history (Baker, 2009) for re-imagining traditional narratives such as, for example, the common school movement as the origin of public education or the concept of public education as critical to democracy, disrupt a historiographical approach that has been focused on <em>transforming</em> the curriculum by <em>constructing </em>a unifying narrative that reflects fundamental or universal pedagogical and social beliefs. Dominant themes like democracy, progress, the common school movement and the relation of school to the history of America have come to function as “real” and taken for granted truths that obscure more complex, complicated and disorderly histories. Any attempt to move away from the “real” of progressive linearity requires a refracted lens that views historical inquiry from multiple disciplinary perspectives and allows for the eradication of linearity and origins as a disciplinary infrastructure and instead provides space for an understanding of the way ideology and memory operate in the minutia of everyday life in the present. Viewed in this way, history becomes a permeable force in the present moment and reveals the mechanisms by which we enact, and are enacted upon by what Foucault termed ‘the redistribution of discursive space.’ In terms of perspective, the present dominance of linearity and progress produces a misdirected gaze; a gaze that needs as fuel an identification of/with monumental events from which we can build our narratives. Curriculum theorizing is in a transitional position that requires resistance to the historically constructed search for grand narratives and origins. We call for curriculum theorists to instead utilize inter/cross disciplinary analytical frameworks to pursue a formulation of historical curricular inquiry that replaces linearity with porosity and acknowledges the simultaneity of past and present.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This special issue seeks to reexamine the relationship between curriculum history and curriculum theory. Based on the belief that history <em>is</em> theoretical, this issue seeks to consider the question of the nature of history/historiography in its various ontological, epistemological, methodological and ideological/discursive manifestations. While the very nature of history-specifically what constitutes time, space, place and subjectivity-is under debate, this issue will also address the practice of history including the ethical, methodological, archaeological, archival, and textual problematics of engaging in and writing history. Lastly, this issue will include pieces that are grounded in historical research, specifically those which engage the reader to reconsider the relationships between curriculum history and theory. Special attention will be given to those pieces which are interdisciplinary, drawing on fields such as anthropology, gender studies, postcolonial studies, queer theory, religion and philosophy, cultural studies, international studies and literary studies.</p>

<p><strong><em>Cultivating the Multicultural Imagination: </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Lived Experience, Political Struggle, and Curriculum of Hope </em></strong></p>
<p>Special Issue of <em>Journal of Curriculum Theorizing</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>Guest Editors:</strong> Suniti Sharma (The University of Texas, Brownsville) and JoAnn Phillion, (Purdue University)</p>
<p><strong>Associate Editor: </strong>Jubin Rahatzad (Purdue University)<strong> </strong></p>
<p>This special issue articulates the multicultural imagination setting in motion a range of ideas that respond to the complexities of lived experience and political struggle, the dilemmas of historical change, the intersections of art, embodiment and interpretation as powerful sources for curriculum inquiry, theoretical <span id="more-992"></span>reflection, and emancipatory practice envisioning hope, possibility, and change. Tradition and meaning that have stabilized the definition of multicultural education turn on ontological, epistemological, and methodological axes by provoking the question, what possibilities for hope does the multicultural imagination incite? Claims to ontological categories and hierarchies, epistemologies of identity and difference, and posthistorical methodologies of disjunctions and proliferations present multicultural education as a contested field in contemporary curriculum theorizing. In cultivating the multicultural imagination, this issue advances various forms of curriculum theorizing in the hope that profound and embodied transformations are thinkable, even possible. This special issue grows out of rich conversations with curriculum scholars who have resisted established orthodoxies and current disciplinary mandates, participated in political struggles for equity and inclusion, and provoked us to think otherwise about the liberating possibilities of reading, telling, and teaching of other lived experiences, other histories, other futures, and the place of our own embodied experiences within these other stories. In so doing, we not only read, tell, and teach the past but position the present moment interrupting the momentum of a seemingly determined history to push the limits of possibility toward an imagined future.</p>
<p>Contributions to this special issue welcome diversity of fields, epistemologies, methodologies, and perspectives as well as geographical and institutional diversity. Authors wishing to submit manuscripts in response to this call for proposals must have their work submitted via email to both Suniti Sharma &lt;suniti.sharma@utb.edu&gt; and JoAnn Phillion &lt;phillion@purdue.edu&gt; no later than April 1, 2012. All manuscripts will be subject to a double-blind review process. Potential authors will be notified of their acceptance to this issue by July 1, 2012 with an expected publication date of December 2012.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Manuscripts should be prepared according to the author’s guideline posted on the JCT website &lt;http://journal.jctonline.org/index.php/jct/about/submissions#authorGuidelines&gt;. Please note that these requirements include that the manuscript ascribe to the following guidelines:</p>
<p>1)      No more than 25 pages in length including references</p>
<p>2)      Abstract of no more than 150 words in addition to the 25 pages</p>
<p>3)      Double-spaced throughout</p>
<p>4)      1-inch margins on all sides</p>
<p>5)      Written in 12 point, Times New Roman</p>
<p>6)      Footnotes should be gathered at the end of the paper</p>
<p>7)      Utilize the 6<sup>th</sup> edition of the American Psychological Association</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, while questions of quality are of paramount importance to the inclusion of manuscripts for this special issue, given the nature of this special issue topic, alternative and innovative uses of JCT’s online formatting are encouraged. Questions pertaining to this call for proposals should be addressed via email to Suniti Sharma at &lt;Suniti.Sharma@utb.edu&gt; or JoAnn Phillion at &lt;phillion@purdue.edu&gt;, the guest editors for this special issue.</p>

<p><strong><em>Narrative of Curriculum in the South: </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Lives In-Between Contested Race, Gender, Class, and Power</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>Special Issue of <em>Journal of Curriculum Theorizing</em></p>
<p><strong>Guest Editors:</strong> Ming Fang He &amp; Sabrina Ross (Georgia Southern University)</p>
<p>This special issue of <em>JCT</em> is a continuation of dialogue on curriculum of the South with a particular focus on the power of counter narrative as a means to contest the official or meta narrative that often portrays disenfranchised individuals and groups as deficient and inferior. It is our intention that the <span id="more-986"></span>counter narratives selected for this special issue challenge traditional ways of engaging in and interpreting curriculum research and affirm the significance of curriculum inquiry as a form of liberatory or radical democratic practice. It is also our intention that counter narratives help tell silenced and neglected stories of repressions, suppressions, and subjugations that challenge stereotypes of Southern women, Blacks, and other disenfranchised individuals and groups and encourage examination of the forces of slavery, racism, sexism, classism, religious repression, and other forms of oppression and suppression on the life and curriculum in schools, neighborhoods, and communities in the South.</p>
<p>The counter narratives of contested race, gender, class, power, and place are exemplified in <em>Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas</em> (Douglass, 1845/2004), <em>Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl</em> (Jacobs, 1861/2001), <em>Borderlands: La Frontera</em> (Anzuldua, 1987), <em>A Voice from the South</em> (Cooper, 1988),<em> </em><em>Woman, Native, Other: Writing Postcoloniality and Feminism </em>(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8&amp;search-type=ss&amp;index=books&amp;field-author=Trinh%20T.%20Minh-Ha">Minh-Ha</a>, 1989), <em>Making Face, Making Soul: Creative and Critical Perspectives by Women of Color</em> (Anzaldua, 1990), <em>Faces at the Bottom of the Well: The Permanence of Racism</em> (Bell, 1992), <em>Savage Inequalities: Children in America’s Schools </em>(Kozol, 1992), <em>Their Highest Potential: An African-American School Community in the Segregated South</em> (Siddle-Walker, 1996), <em>Ghetto Schooling:</em> <em>A Political Economy of Urban Educational Reform</em> (Anyon, 1997), <em>Troubling the Angels: Women Living with HIV/AIDS</em> (Lather &amp; Smithies, 1997), <em>Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples</em> (Tuhiwai Smith, 1999), <em>A River Forever Flowing: Cross-Cultural Lives and Identities in the Multicultural Landscape</em> (He, 2003), <em>Red Pedagogy: Native American Social and Political Thought</em> (Grande, 2004), <em>Indigenous Storywork: Educating the Heart, Mind, Body, and Spirit</em> (Archibald, 2008), <em>Race Is&#8211;Race Isn&#8217;t: Critical Race Theory and Qualitative Studies in Education</em> (Parker, Deyhle, &amp; Villenas, 1999), and <em>Personal~Passionate~Participatory Inquiry into Social Justice in Education</em> (He &amp; Phillion, 2008). The counter narratives are also demonstrated in Southern women writers’ fictions such as <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> (Hurston, 1937/1965/2000), <em>Strange Fruit</em> (Smith, 1944), <em>Killers of the Dream</em> (Smith, 1949/1961), <em>The Bluest Eye</em> (Morrison, 1970), and <em>The Color Purple</em> (Walker, 1982).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This dialogue on narrative of curriculum in the South is originated from an exploration of the issue of place in <em>Curriculum as Social Psychoanalysis: The Significance of Place </em>(Kincheloe &amp; Pinar, 1991), continued in <em>An Indigenous Curriculum of Place</em> (Ng-A-Fook, 2007), <em>This Corner of Canaan: Curriculum Studies of Place &amp; the Reconstruction of the South</em> (Whitlock, 2007), <em>The Autobiographical Demand of Place: Curriculum Inquiry in the American South </em>(Casemore, 2008), and other works outside the field of curriculum studies such as <em>Rooted in Place: Family and Belonging in a Southern Black Community</em> (Falk, 2004), and <em>Belonging: A Culture of Place</em> (hooks, 2009). This dialogue is further invigorated by the analyses of the South begun by William M. Reynolds and Julie Webber in <em>The Civic Gospel: A Political Cartography of Christianity</em> (2009), continues to emerge in <em>A Curriculum of Place: Understandings Emerging through the Southern Mist</em> (Reynolds, in press) and in narrative analyses of the life in the South in <em>South to a Queer Place: An Interdisciplinary Collection of Queer Lives and Southern Sensibilities </em>(Whitlock, in press),<strong> </strong><em>A Quiet Awakening: Spinning Yarns from Granny’s Table in the New Rural South</em> (Haynes, in press), <em>Are You Mixed? A War Bride’s Granddaughter’s Narrative of Lives In-Between Contested Race, Gender, Class and Power </em>(Carlyle, in press), and <em>Exile Curriculum: Compelled to Live In-Between</em> (He, in press).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the <em>Foreword</em>, the Guest Editors provide an overview of diverse forms of curriculum inquiry and theoretical traditions of counter narrative illuminated in autobiography, biography, memoir, novel, short stories, documentary film, film, paintings, poems, songs, and artworks. Introducing the featured articles, the Editors invigorate conversations on contributions, potentials, and challenges of using counter narrative in diverse social justice oriented forms of curriculum inquiry. <em>Afterthought</em> by a scholar with expertise in curriculum studies in the South invigorates more dialogues on narrative of curriculum in an increasingly diversified, complicated, and contested South. We particularly call for manuscripts composed by curriculum inquirers who explore eclectic ways of engaging in activist oriented inquiries, tell counter narratives, and critically reflect upon their backgrounds, experiences, and values and the ways in which their personal histories, languages, cultures, identities, and experiences affect who they are as curriculum workers, how they interact with others, and how they live their lives in the South. We sincerely hope that curriculum inquirers to be featured in this issue raise challenging questions; transcend inquiry boundaries; transgress orthodoxy and dogma; research silenced narratives of underrepresented or disenfranchised individuals and groups with hearts and minds; embed inquiry in school, neighborhood, and community life to transform research into positive social and educational change; exile voluntarily; and work with underrepresented or disenfranchised individuals and groups to embody a particular stance in relation to power, freedom, and human possibility and to promote a more balanced and equitable human condition that embodies cultural, linguistic, and ecological diversity and plurality of identities of individuals, groups, tribes, and societies that is conducive to the flourishing of creative capacities that invigorate intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual existence for all.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Authors wishing to submit manuscripts in response to this call must have their work submitted electronically as Microsoft Word documents (doc/docx) to Ming Fang He and Sabrina Ross, the guest editors for this special issue, via both of their emails &lt;mfhe@georgiasouthern.edu&gt; and &lt;sross@georgiasouthern.edu&gt; no later than April 1, 2012. All manuscripts will be blind reviewed by at least two curriculum scholars. Potential authors will be notified of their acceptance to this issue by July 1, 2012 with an expected publication date of September 15, 2012. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the following additional guidelines:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1)      a cover sheet with name(s), contact information, and total word count to be included in a separate word file (NOTE: Manuscripts should not include any identifying information in headers, internal citations, or direct references to the author’s name)</p>
<p>2)      25 pages in length including references, double-spaced throughout, 1-inch margins on all sides, and 12 point Times New Roman</p>
<p>3)      endnotes preferred and references at the end of the paper</p>
<p>4)      the 5<sup>th</sup> edition of the American Psychological Association required</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Questions pertaining to this call for manuscripts should be addressed to <strong>Ming Fang He</strong> (mfhe@georgiasouthern.edu) and <strong>Sabrina Ross</strong> (sross@georgiasouthern.edu), the guest editors for this special issue, via both of their emails.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This award is presented to one graduate student in recognition of an outstanding paper presented at the 2011 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 engage the imagination, generate fresh meanings, and explore and enable personal and cultural transformation. The award encourages the participation of emerging scholars in promoting new ideas and welcomes all viewpoints in forming more compassionate and reflective curriculum, theory, and practice. </p>
<p>Procedure: Interested graduate students should have already submitted a proposal to the conference.

<p>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. </p>
