The course will take place Saturday April 16, 2016 from 9:00-5:00 and Sunday April 17, 2016 Sunday 12:00-6:00.

C. CALLS FOR PAPERS
————————————————————-

C.1. The Organization of Educational Historians will host its annual conference on September 30-October 1, 2016 at North Park University Chicago, IL Hamming Hall. The theme of this year’s conference is “The Position of Place in the History of Education” and is requesting a call for papers. The theme directs attention to the importance of examining local dynamics as they relate to education. Centering inquiry on particular understandings brings with it the potential to shape and reshape educational history based on cultural experiences, sociopolitical landscapes, community, time and scale. Papers are not restricted to topics that focus on the conference theme. However, proposals that relate to the conference theme will be group into the topical sessions and presented in the main meeting room to accommodate a larger audience. Proposals must be submitted electronically to the program chair, John J. Laukaitis, PhD., North Park University, no later than April 30, 2016. Please send proposal as a Word document attachment in an email addressed to jjlaukaitis@northpark.edu. The subject line of the e-mail message should read: OEH 2016 Proposal. “Acceptance notification will be May 31, 2016. Proposals for papers, panels, symposia, and alternative formats should be between 500-750 words. The proposal should restate the title of the paper, describe the contents, discuss its significance and include a description of historical sources used. All proposals submissions must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 50 words. All proposals should have a cover sheet that contains the following: (1) Title or topic of proposal; (2) category of proposal (paper, symposium, panel, poster, alternative); (3) names, affiliations and relevant backgrounds of all participants (and, in the case of a symposium, the title of each participant’s presentation); (4) addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses of all other participants; (5) technology needs (see below) and (6) indicate if you are willing to serve as a session chair and/or proposal reviewer. ALL proposal and participant information must be submitted at one time by the organizer. Technology: Please indicate on the cover sheet what technology you require for the conference. OEH can provide a screen and projector free of charge. Presenters are responsible for providing working computers and VGA adapters for their computers. Any additional technology will be the responsibility of the presenters. Individual Papers: Following the cover sheet, a paper proposal should restate the title of the paper, describe its contents, discuss its significance and include a description of historical sources used. An abstract is also required as described above. Presenters will have approximately 15 minutes to read their paper or, preferably, summarize their work. Full papers are due to the session chair by September 1, 2016. Symposia: A symposium is composed of participants who deliver brief presentations based on prepared papers on a common theme. Following the cover sheet (which should specify the title of each participants presentation), a symposium proposal should include the topic, its significance, and the titles of the presentations. Most symposia will be allocated 90 minutes on the program. Time should be allowed for each presenter, for a discussant or critic, and for audience participation. Therefore, the organizer of the symposium should plan accordingly and give each presenter a time limit. A chair and/or a discussant should be identified on the cover sheet or, alternatively, can be assigned by the Program Committee. If a chair is assigned by the Program Committee, full papers for all symposia presenters are due to the session chair by September 1, 2016. Panels: A panel discusses a topic as a group rather than through formal individual presentations. Following the cover sheet, a panel proposal should indicate the topic, its significance, and the way it will be approached or discussed. Panelists should keep in mind that they will have no more than 90 minutes for their discussion, including audience participation, and plan accordingly. Panel submissions should identify a session chair to lead discussion. Blind Review and Notification: The Program Committee will review each proposal. Criteria for review include purpose of the presentation, theoretical context/framework, contribution to the field, and written presentation. The person who submitted the proposal will be notified of the Committee’s decision; it is the submitter’s responsibility to notify other presenters of the Committee’s decision.
