>>The following sessions are planned for AERA this Spring in San Diego. We
were able to include most of the proposals received which as you will see,
appear very promising. We were able to "co-opt" some extra space by sheer
good fortune. BUT we do need to ask all who can, to join us in the CHAT SIG.
>In its 3rd year now, the SIG is serving as an annual meeting mechanism for
many.
>>Our goal is to double our membership next year from 120 to 240 members,
which requires AERA membership fees of 45.00 a year plus our SIG fee of
$5.00 per year. This will allow us a good program next year of more than 2
sessions which is our allotment presently. We need volunteers to work on
membership, and perhaps an electronic or hard copy newsletter.
>>
>For those unfamiliar with all of these acronyms and this event, AERA =
American Educational Research Association, which meets yearly. It has
divisions and special interest groups that organize programs in various
areas. Our Special Interest Group (SIG) is the cultural-historical SIG, #
29. This allows us to meet from time to time in the U.S.. The idea behind
this is that it provides a forum along with XMCA (which serves as the
newsletter from time to time) and MCA. The SIG has members who are not in
XMCA. But most read this I think.
>Judith Diamondstone and Carol Panofsky can be contacted for membership
information etc. Vera John Steiner is the current president of the group.
