[xmca] AERA SIG Sessions
Dear Friends,
First, congratulations to AERA’s President-Elect Kris Gutiérrez!
Second, we want to share with you some highlights of the SIG program
we’ve put together for the San Diego conference. You can view the full
program online at http://convention2.allacademic.com/one/aera/aera09/.
The SIG Business Meeting will be held on Thursday evening, April 16th
at the Omni in Gallery 3A from 6:15-8:15. We hope to attract new
people to the SIG with a program featuring a conversation on the
topic, “CHAT Tales Outside of School: What is To Be Learned?” with
Mike Cole, Kris Gutiérrez, Hugh Mehan, Carolyn Panofsky and Olga
Vasquez sharing their work as researcher-practitioners on outside of
school learning environments. Discussion will include ways of
engaging neighborhoods and communities, as well as how this work might
inform the way we understand learning and what goes on inside schools.
As SIG Chair, Carolyn will also lead the business part of the meeting.
There will also be a SIG authors book display, so bring a copy and
fliers for 2008, 2009 and 2010 publications.
We’ve attached an announcement for the business meeting/reception.
Please forward to colleagues, divisions and SIGs.
Other SIG sessions include an extended roundtable on the sociocultural
study of emotions, a symposium on virtual environments, and five
additional symposia and roundtables on theory, methodology and practice.
