A.5. Spring Semester CEPS Graduate Courses

 

  • ELPS 412 Urban Education (Phillippo) WTC, Tuesdays 7:00-9:30 [hybrid online and face-to-face]
  • ELPS 420 Philosophy of Education (Shuffelton) WTC, Wednesdays 4:15-6:45
  • ELPS 444 History of American Education and Social Policy (Instructor TBD) WTC, Mondays 7:00-9:30
  • ELPS 455 Comparative Education (Jules) WTC, Thursdays 4:15-6:45
  • ELPS 540 Seminar History of Education: Globalization of Childhood (Sobe) WTC, Mondays 4:15-6:45

This course will examine the history of childhood from a global perspective.  Over the course of the semester students will deepen their knowledge of historical experiences of children in various settings around the globe.  Students will also grapple with the thorny and fascinating issues that emerge within this historical subfield.  These range from questions related to the definition of the topic, such as (1) to what extent does one write histories of children or histories of childhood; (2) to what extent can we study “children” internationally and cross-culturally given the variety of ways that different cultures identify human life-stages; (3) relatedly, how are infancy and adolescence or youth related to childhood; (4) how has modernity and/or globalization reshaped childhood on national and/or global scales; and, (5) and, taking gender into consideration, asking whether is it even legitimate to write about childhood, as perhaps instead we should study boyhoods and girlhoods.  The history of childhood also raises a host of methodological issues.  For example, (6) can we study children without including their “voices” or documents produced by them; (7) given the paucity historical documents in archives produced by people under age 16 what other forms of evidence can we examine; (8) or, is there actually a surprisingly abundance of information on childhood out there that we only need to be clever enough to see and distill; (9) should we be concerned that it is overwhelmingly adults who write the history of childhood, and relatedly what service do studies of childhood perform for children themselves.  These questions and more! will be addressed in this advanced seminar.

C. UPCOMING CONFERENCES
————————————————————-

 

C.1 The Illinois Education Research Council announces the 15th annual Focus on Illinois Education Research Symposium November 9 and November 10, 2017 at the NIU Conference Center in Naperville, Illinois, Information about how to submit papers and register to attend the conference can be found at https://apply.interfolio.com/41846’

 

C.2. The 2017 AESA Annual Conference will be held at the historic Omni William Penn hotel in Pittsburgh, PA. Wednesday November 1st through Sunday November 5th.  The theme for this year’s conference is Memory, Remembering & Forgetting: Re-Envisioning Educational Worlds. The ontological vocation of educational studies scholars must be to co-construct, deconstruct, and reconstruct educational worlds (spaces, practices and knowledge) so that schooling experiences become more equitable and just in our democratic society. The problem of memory looms large in our ability to do this work—whether we acknowledge it or not. Memory work, which includes remembering and forgetting our own educational experiences, shapes every aspect of our jobs as teachers, researchers, and/or activists committed to maintaining public schools and communities that serve us all equitably. Emerging educational research suggests that teachers’ memories of childhood influence their teaching philosophies, classroom practices, and everyday interpretations in schools. Linking memory studies to educational studies raises both new and enduring questions. The 49th annual meeting of the American Educational Studies Association will explore the role of memory, remembering, and forgetting as key features of teaching, learning, and work in and outside of schools. For more information on the conference see https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/aesa/aesa17/

CALLS FOR PAPERS
————————————————————-

 

D.1. The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) will hold its 2018 Annual Conference in Mexico City, Mexico, March 25-29, 2018.  The theme of CIES 2018, ““Re-mapping Global Education: South-North Dialogue ,” aims to shift the traditional starting point of research to a greater extent toward the global South. This shift not only enables South-North dialogue, but also enhances North-South dialogue and the expansion of South- South collaboration. The new map requires us as scholars and practitioners to expand our awareness of the voices, actors and knowledge producers that have historically been marginalized in educational research and institutions. Taking advantage of the widening epistemological parameters of our field, we will focus the conversation on theories and methodologies produced in the global South, with a view toward exploring new voices around the globe. This perspective impels us to forge commitments with greater dedication than ever across all kinds of borders and to re-envision possibilities for cooperation and mutual support in advancing education research and practice.  The submission deadline has been EXTENDED TO Monday October 16, 2017.   For more information see: https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/cies/cies18/

 

D.2. The Philosophy of Education Society (PES) will hold its 74th Annual Meeting 2018 from March 22-26, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois, at the Palmer House.  Under the theme “Education as Formation” the Program Committee invites papers to be submitted for presentation at the Annual Meeting and for subsequent publication in the PES yearbook, Philosophy of Education 2018.  The Committee also invites proposals for: (1) alternative sessions; and (2) work-in-progress sessions designed to bring participants together to collaborate on developing ideas not yet ready for the regular paper submission process.  Papers and proposals that address the conference theme are specifically encouraged, but all submissions will be considered on an equal basis.  Submission deadline: November 1, 2017.  For more information see: https://www.philosophyofeducation.org/conference

 

D.3. The Comparative Education Society of Europe (CESE) will hold its 28th Biannual Conference in Nicosia, Cyprus, May 29 – June 1, 2018 under the theme “Identities and Education: Comparative Perspectives in an Age of Crisis.”  The conference offers the chance to examine and problematize our contemporary moment. Through the heuristic of identity, the conference aims at creating a platform for understanding our current challenges and considering the potential of education to address them.   For more info please visit: www.cese-europe.org/2018.  The conference submission system will open November 1, 2017 and close February 1, 2018.
