Session Participants:  
Imaginative Play as a Life-Span, Cultural Activity 
Anthony T. Perone (University of Illinois at Chicago) 
Chair: Lois Holzman (East Side Institute)  
Participant: Carrie L. Lobman (Rutgers University)

Abstract:  
Play is a critical life activity in leading learning and development across
the lifespan, yet play has become a neglected even denigrated aspect of
education. In this session, we revisit play as the foundation for action in
education. Our panel takes up the challenge to the current convention of
cookie cutter curriculum and advocates, instead, for the recognition and
restoration of play in the ways we teach, learn and live. Mike Askew, Kings
College; Jaime E. Martinez, East Side Institute; Joan Almon, Alliance for
Childhood; Bonny L. Gildin, All Stars Project; Carrie L. Lobman, Rutgers
University; Artin Goncu, University of Illinois - Chicago. 
 

And for those of you who are also in the SIG, please accept my apologies for
the double email... I just don't want to miss anyone! If you have any
questions, comments, concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me and...
don't forget to sign up to review submissions for next year's meeting in San
Francisco.
See you in Vancouver! 

Best, 
~Emily
