Subject: [Xmca-l] AERA Session: Being/Becoming an Activist Scholar: Lessons From Cultural-Historical Activity Research

Hello XMCAers,


I am very pleased to be chairing this timely and important session at AERA in a few weeks (Monday April 16). The idea for Being/Becoming an Activist-Scholar <http://tinyurl.com/ybdkh6kw> was born at last years conference in San Antonio where I felt a shift as more and more people, particularly graduate students, were identifying as activist scholars or were seeking to engage in activism. I believe as socio-cultural and activitists we have much to offer this conversation and a responsibility to lead and teach.


I was thrilled that Kris Guitierrez, Lois Holzman, and Anna Stetsenko agreed to be our featured speakers as they each bring a long history of rigorous scholarship and activism but from with different frameworks, activities and communities. These three presentations will jumpstart a conversation with an invited panel of emerging and established scholar activists who will collectively interview and respond to the presentations and lead a discussion with the audience.


Please get the word out as widely as possible.
