John Dewey Society — Call for Proposals

 2019 Theme
Dewey in/and China:
Cultural Transformation & Progressive Education in International Settings Today
John Dewey Society Panel on Dewey and Philosophy
CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The John Dewey Society calls for paper proposals for its panel on Dewey and Philosophy to be held at its annual meeting in conjunction with the American Educational Research Association meeting in Toronto in April 2019.  For information about the JDS, go to (http://www.johndeweysociety.org)

2019 marks the centennial of the start of John Dewey’s stay of two years and two months in China. He arrived in China at a time of cultural transformation and upheaval. There was the spread of a new vernacular called Paihua that signaled a ferment of thought. The New Culture movement and the May Fourth (1919) student uprising focused on Western science amidst a new found nationalism and populism.

Today, Dewey’s influence in China is broad and deep, though it underwent a number of shifts since that time. His early influence peaked in the decade following his visit, and he was later savagely criticized by the Communist regime shortly after his death in 1952. For many scholars, this criticism indicated the depth that Dewey’s influence still had on Chinese culture. At present there is a resurgence of Dewey in China, evidenced in part by the recent translation of the collected works of Dewey into Chinese, published in 2015, and the work of the Dewey Center at Fudan University (see the research note in the spring 2018 issue of Dewey Studies).

One of the main reasons that Dewey had such a profound influence on China was due to his pragmatism and its relation to Confucianism, which emphasizes thought for its usefulness in social situations and for living a good and proper life. Dewey’s philosophy fit with traditional Chinese culture, even though Confucianism was under attack as an old tradition during the New Culture movement at that time in China.

However, the 20th century was a time when Chinese culture changed dramatically with the influence of Marxism and Communism. Dewey had warned against a wholesale acceptance of Marxism and Communism, and later was condemned for this way of thinking. Dewey did not call for the general rejection of Chinese culture or complete adaptation of Western culture, but for a new culture that would come about through a careful evaluation and reflection upon both cultures. He asks in his critical review of Bertrand Russell’s The Problem of China: “…what is to win in the present turmoil of change: the harsh and destructive impact of the West, or the internal recreation of Chinese culture inspired by intercourse with the West” (MW 15:218).

We call for papers that not only may take up an explicit study of Dewey in/and China, but that also deal with the themes of cultural transformation and progressive education more broadly in other worldwide contexts and in other countries, including North America. In considering Dewey together with Chinese and other cultures, we can ask a number of questions that are specific to Dewey in/and China but can be extended to other contexts elsewhere, such as:

  • How has Chinese or other cultures been changed or transformed by Deweyan influence?
  • Was Dewey’s philosophy affected by his stay in China?
  • What are current manifestations of Deweyan philosophy in China, and other countries? How is it demonstrated in pedagogy, curriculum, and school planning and leadership?
This list is in no way exhaustive regarding Dewey in/and China, and Dewey’s influence more broadly in the world. Accepted submissions will also be considered for publication in one of the journals sponsored by the John Dewey Society, including Education & Culture, Journal of School and Society, andDewey Studies.

HOW TO SUBMIT
Submit all proposals (prepared per instructions below) for individual papers via email with an attachment as a Word document.

AESA 2018 Annual Meeting

Posted on by

 

The AESA annual meeting will be held on November 7 – 11, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Greenville in Greenville, South Carolina.

The program will be available soon through the AESA website (educationalstudies.org)

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

AESA President-elect Roland Sintos Coloma (Northern Kentucky University) and the 2018 Program Committee announced the theme for the 2018 Annual Meeting:

“Dare We Build a New Global Order?”

The American Educational Studies Association (AESA) was founded in 1968 in the midst of major upheaval and change in the United States and across the globe. From protests against empire, war, and militarism, to demands for civil rights, economic reforms, and inclusive education, it was a turbulent period that fundamentally challenged the United States’ own foundations internally and internationally. The calls for social change took place in the classrooms and the streets, in legal courts and popular culture, in political conventions and the Olympics. Fifty years later, we confront similar realities and advocacies within the current context of neoliberalism and cosmopolitanism. The struggles against white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy, labor and class exploitation, ableism, environmental degradation, religious fundamentalism, nativism and narrow nationalism continue to marshal individuals and collectives for a future worth fighting for. In these struggles, both in the past and present, are the radical hope and promise of a sociality and polity underpinned by equity, intersectionality, justice, and love.

As AESA celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2018 and projects its next 50 years, how do we pursue and engage in intellectual, pedagogical, and political projects that envision and enact a different global order? How do we analyze “America” and the tools and effects of its hard and soft powers, while simultaneously decentering it? In what ways can we situate our work as researchers, educators, and activists that locates the United States within transnational frames and the global flows of ideas, people, money, and technologies? How do we resist the audit culture of standardization, testing, and ranking and the commodification of critical knowledges at local, national, and global scales? What can we learn from ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies from below and elsewhere, from the margins and the borderlands, from the Indigenous and the migrants, from those considered non-normative, illegible, or disposable? What happens when we create and employ a different grammar of critique, transformation, and possibility? What kind of future might we build together, and what difference might this difference make?

We invite panel, interactive workshop, and individual paper submissions on a wide range of topics that may include, but are not limited to, the annual meeting theme.

Dear SPE Members:

Hope this finds everyone well and in good spirits!  It is time to vote for our next set of SPE Board Members (3-year term, 2018-2020). Our five candidates are vying for three spots with as I said a 3-year term. The bio sketches and a ballot are attached.

I’m also attaching a current listing of Society Officers and Board Members, just so you can see who’s in charge of what. We also have a finalized program for our annual meeting at AERA attached.

Here’s the basic information:

Meeting:        Society of Professors of Education Annual Meeting
Date:              Saturday, April 14, 2018                                                                                         Time:              8:00am – 5:00pm
Hotel:             Sheraton New York Times Square
Room:            Sheraton NY Ballroom West

For a second year in a row a “special thanks” goes out to Dan Tanner and his Foundation for contributing $1,000.00 in the form of a grant to cover the room rental for our annual meeting and rental incidentals. Dan and the Foundation’s trustees which is made up of Peter Hlebowitsh, Dennis Buss, James Hayden, William Wraga and Lloyd Chilton). Thanks Dan and trustees for the grant and continuing to be good friends to the Society.

You will notice on the membership renewal form (also attached) that you can now pay through PayPal. I’m not great at it, but it is working. Since everyone has to make a choice in dues payments, and I need to keep up-to-date membership information. I’m asking that you send me, through email, a completed renewal form indicating how much I need to be billed through PayPal. I will then send you an invoice to your email address and you can pay with credit card. I fought it for a few years, but now I’m into it! Of course you can still send me a check via U.S. mail—that still works fine with me.

Finally, I’m working to up-date the master listing, so this first round of emails is not as up-to-date as I want it to be. But my next one in a few days will contain a listing of all members and their most recent dues payment.

Philosophy of Education Society Annual Meeting — Making Philosophy of Education: A Graduate Student Pre-Conference Workshop
Thursday, March 12, 2015  –  2-7 pm  – Memphis Westin Beale Street
Working retrospectively and prospectively we are seeking to make originary philosophy of education at PES 2015. Toward that end,  graduate students in the field are invited to engage in a pre-conference workshop and take up the question energizing our gathering in Memphis: How do we make philosophy of education?  The pre-conference workshop aims to examine the articulation, production and dissemination of philosophy of education.  The five hour event will include a group dinner at the Keough Café.  The workshop will have two parts.  The first half will produce a set of theses in response to the question: How do we make philosophy of education?  Participants will be asked to think about the past and present work in the field, and to envision and articulate new possibilities. The second part of the event will be a hands-on workshop geared toward practical advice for navigating the job market.  It will include faculty who have recently completed successful searches and those who have been on hiring committees.  Feedback on CV construction, letter writing, and other concrete aspects of the search process. Participants are encouraged to bring their materials for sharing and review.  The second part will be lead by JOPE chair, Nakia Pope, along with Cara Furman (U Maine, Farmington), Tyson Lewis (UNT), and Sam Rocha (UBC).  Please join for this unique experience to make the future of PES!

The workshop is a first-come, first-serve open-enrollment event.  Deadline to enroll is February 6, 2015.    Any and all inquiries should be sent electronically to Eduardo Duarte, PES 2015 Program Chair

October 29th-November 2nd, 2014
Hyatt Regency, Toronto, Canada

[Proposal submissions due: April 15, 2014]

Update from the AESA list today –

Hello,  Our apologies to those seeking to submit proposals to the AESA Annual
Conference in 2014 in the last couple days. We have been attempting to ready our website and conference system and experienced a minor delay. In order not to hold people up any further, those seeking to submit conference proposals can now do so via the following link:

http://ocs.sfu.ca/aesa/index.php/2014/

————-

To see the original call for proposals and other information about this conference, visit the AESA website ( educationalstudies.org ) — the Call also appears below.

Call for Proposals

For the 2014 annual conference the American Educational Studies

Association (AESA) and the International Association of Intercultural

Education (IAIE) will join forces to create a truly global community

of scholars in one of the most diverse cities in the world. Each

organization will follow a separate submission and review process that

will unite into one multinational, multilingual program.[1]

CONFERENCE THEME:

Reconceptualizing Diversity: Engaging with Histories, Theories,

Practices, and Discursive Strategies in Global Contexts

The American Educational Studies Association (AESA) and the

International Association for Intercultural Education (IAIE) are

presently accepting proposals for their joint conference

“Reconceptualizing Diversity: Engaging with Histories, Theories,

Practices, and Discursive Strategies in Global Contexts.” Together we

will provide a critical space for sociohistorical, political and

philosophical dialogues focused on reframing diversity within a global

context. In particular, we are interested in submissions that address

diversity as a multifaceted and dynamic idea as well as the structures

that transform, maintain, and reproduce the many intersectionalities

of identity. By focusing on colonialism, settler ideologies,

capitalism, and neoliberalism, among other related topics we can

resituate diversity in a global context. Turning to issues of

transnational immigration, cosmopolitan citizenships, and globalized

knowledge networks, we might find new approaches to equity and social

justice in education.

GENERAL CALL:

The AESA Program Committee for 2014 invites proposals on all topics

related to the broad field of educational studies including Social

Foundations of Education, its traditional scholarly domain. Proposals

may be submitted for individual papers, symposiums, panels, and

alternative format sessions through April 15, 2014. The committee

welcomes proposals from a full range of theoretical, disciplinary, and

interdisciplinary perspectives that include the following educational

emphases: social foundations of education, cultural studies of

education, curriculum theory and curriculum studies, comparative and

international education studies, and educational policy and

leadership. While all proposals of AESA quality are welcome,

especially encouraged are those that specifically address this year’s

theme, which will be highlighted in the program.

Submission deadline:

All proposals must be submitted electronically to the Online

Conference System (OCS) via the AESA website. It will open March 1,

2014 (5:00pm EST) and close on April 15, 2014 (11:59pm CST).

Participants are encouraged to plan ahead. Notifications of proposals’

acceptance or rejections will sent by July 15th, 2014.

ABOUT AESA

The American Educational Studies Association (AESA) was established in

1968 as an international learned society for students, teachers,

research scholars, and administrators who are interested in the

foundations of education. AESA is a society primarily comprised of

college and university professors and students who teach and research

in the field of education utilizing one or more of the liberal arts

disciplines of philosophy, history, politics, sociology, anthropology,

or economics as well as comparative/international and cultural

studies. The purpose of social foundations study is to bring

intellectual resources derived from these areas to bear in developing

interpretive, normative, and critical perspectives in education, both

inside of and outside of schools.

ABOUT IAIE

Since 1984 the International Association of Intercultural Education

(IAIE) has brought together educators and activists interested in

diversity and equity issues in education. This is defined quite

broadly, and includes among other topics, social justice, human

rights, pluralism in post-colonial, post-conflict and post-communist

countries, active citizenship, anti-racist education, migration and

indigenous minority issues, feminist and queer theory, bilingual and

multilingual language studies, ability studies, interfaith dialogue,

genocide and Holocaust education, and critical pedagogy. These topics

are also the focus of the organization’s Intercultural Education

journal, published 6 times a year.
