Journal of Curriculum Theorizing

Dear JCTonline Community,

Four years ago, I had the privilege to begin working more closely with Professor Hongyu Wang on the Journal of Curriculum Theorizing in her capacity as co-editor. Over these years, Hongyu has led the editorial efforts of the journal. A lot of changes occurred during time – we transitioned from print to online, changed several of the sections of the journal, developed new policies and procedures, brought on a new editorial board, and the list goes on. Hongyu led us through these changes in a way that advanced the intellectual, scholarly breadth and depth of the journal. She worked tirelessly on the journal these past four years.

Hongyu has decided to step down as co-editor. Plans for the future of the journal and conference are being discussed and will be announced at this year’s conference. But for now, please join me in thanking Hongyu for all the amazing work she has done for the journal and the curriculum field.

Best,

Adam Howard
Director, Bergamo Conference on Curriculum Theory and Classroom Practice
Co-Editor, Journal of Curriculum Theorizing

ADDITIONS TO THE PROGRAM

Over the summer, we have added several sessions and events to the conference program. In fact, right now we’re working on an invited session with William Watkins on his new book, The Assault on Public Education (Teachers College Press), which will come out around the time of the conference. We have also added a screening of a film, Race to Nowhere, to the program (a film about the negative consequences of the achievement culture in U.S.).

ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT BERGAMO 2011 ARE COMING SOON!

You may now register for the conference, reserve a spot in a pre-conference institute, reserve a room at the Bergamo Center (we always sell out early, so consider doing this very soon!), and purchase meal tickets.

We look forward to seeing you all in October!

We are pleased to announce we are now accepting proposals online. To submit your proposal for the 32nd Annual Conference on Curriculum Theory and Classroom Practice, please review the proposal submission guidelines and initiate the process.
