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

[Maxine McKinney de Royston]

Dear all-
    
I tend to be among the many legitimate peripheral participants on this list, but felt compelled to shift roles in order to respond this thread.
    
Carrie and others- thank you for creating the space for such a timely and critically necessary conversation at AERA.  As a junior scholar, these types of sessions are ones that I often look for and rarely find.  I'm leaving AERA earlier that day and cannot attend, but will spread the word about it far and wide.   I hope there will be future opportunities to continue these types of conversations.
    
Sincerely,

        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.
