Conference Schedule Now Available!

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.

Procedure: Interested graduate students should have already submitted a proposal to the conference. Proposals must be accepted for presentation at the October 2011 Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theorizing and Classroom Practice. The completed paper must be submitted by 5 PM October 3, 2011 via email to jenn.milam@uakron.edu.

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 a future issue 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.

We would like to bring to your attention a new addition to this year’s Bergamo program. Lunch on Friday at Bergamo will offer the opportunity for conference attendees to join a Theory Discussion Table. Themes for the tables include:

• feminist pedagogy
• queering the curriculum
• Foucault
• immigration, nationhood and citizenship
• pedagogy of ethics
• democracy and education
• social justice
• public pedagogy
• education and globalization

There is no presumed expert who will lead the discussion, but each table will start and follow the conversation where your interests lead. We will have questions at each table to consider as possible starting places. Also, if you have an idea for a table that is not listed, you can propose it at the conference and it will be added to the list.

Special Thanks to Darla Linville for organizing this year’s Lunch Theory Discussion Tables.
