Program Chair report, Judy Diamondstone
We were fortunate to have an excellent program this year. We were able to
co-sponsor an International Panel with Division G and a session on narrative
with the Narrative Research SIG, so that, overall, we had, IN ADDITION to
the business meeting presentation, 4 paper sessions and 2 paper discussion
(roundtable) sessions.
CO-SPONSORSHIP
AERA wants to encourage co-sponsorship of SIG sessions. Next year, when
replaces the current online system will All Academic software (NOAH),
program chairs will have an opportunity to communicate ahead of time to plan
co-sponsored sessions. Individual proposers can also help facilitate
co-sponsorship by planning ahead, with related SIGs in mind (such as the
Dewey SIG, the Semiotic SIG, the Narrative SIG, the Work & Organization
SIG.....)
INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS...
The SIG officers were concerned this year that some proposals by
international participants received relatively low ratings by reviewers
because they did not conform to proposal-writing conventions. THE AERA
WEBSITE HAS PROPOSAL WRITING GUIDELINES. We would like more representation
by international participants on our program. For everyone, by following the
posted guidelines, you can help ensure a fair review of your work.
