New Officers
First, we’d like to congratulate Rebecca Taylor on her excellent work as Program Chair this past year and thank Paula McAvoy, who has completed her term as SIG Chair, for her service. Rebecca is now the Chair of the SIG, taking over from Paula. We’d like to welcome Cara Furman, who will be the Program Chair for AERA 2022 and 2023 and will move into the Chair role for 2024-2025.
Upcoming SIG Event
Second, we will be hosting an event titled “The Life of an AERA Presentation” Tuesday, May 25, 2021, 7-8 pm Eastern (see attached poster for details on registration). This free event will feature a panel discussion with SIG leadership focused on:
Crafting a successful AERA proposal
Understanding presentation formats
Developing AERA presentations into journal articles
The event is open to all; current SIG membership not required. Please share with graduate students, early career scholars, and any others who would like to get to know the SIG better. The event link is: https://illinois.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcvd--rqDIqHN1-TRuvwoad2sjDXAS_YZrz
Call for Reviewers
Third, we’d like to encourage you to volunteer as a review for AERA 2022. To sign-up to review proposals please use the AERA portal to indicate interest by May 20, 2021. We aim to keep the reviewing load to 5-8 proposals per person, and to realize that goal, we need you! Reviewing is also a great way to get to know the work of the SIG better. Thank you for considering offering this service to the SIG.
Call for Teaching Resources
Fourth, we’d like to encourage you to submit teaching resources on racial and social justice and that support the diversification of syllabi in the philosophy of education. We plan to share an updated database of resources periodically through future newsletters. Please find a Google Form to submit resources here.
As always, thank you for your contributions to the SIG. The vitality of the field and the presence of Philosophy of Education at AERA is a product of your effort!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Taylor, Chair Cara Furman, Program Chair Liz Jackson, Treasurer Nic Tanchuk, Communications
