[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.
