Curriculum and Pedagogy Group 23rd Annual Conference
Scholar State College, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
October 19 & 20, 2022, State College, PA.
Practicing and Cultivating Humanizing Ways of Being in Education in the Pursuit of Social Justice
Call for proposals
Over eighty years ago, W.E.B. Du Bois (1940/1997) wrote that “simply knowledge” will not “reform the world” and, instead, people “must be changed by influencing folkways, habits, customs and subconscious deeds” (p. 111). It’s not simply knowledge we are after as a collective, nor in this 23rd annual meeting of the Curriculum and Pedagogy Group. Instead, we invite you to join with us in a vital space where we encounter living, complicated works of story, art, research, theorizing, and accounts of curriculum and pedagogy. We seek a conference experience that works on us and allows us to change and be changed through affirmational encounters and interactions with difference. To imagine a not-yet-imagined future. We hope to share space and discourse with educators, theorists, artists, students, and activists, as we practice and cultivate ways of being and doing that offer an alternative to white supremacist, normative, and neoliberal stances toward curriculum and pedagogy.
We are eager to gather with you. Our previous two conferences, while successful and vital, were mostly virtual. However, with this year’s conference, we look forward to sharing space together, as well as engaging in partnerships with universities, local school districts, community organizations, and arts groups to advance traditions of critical inquiry in education through dialogue and action. We welcome attendees ranging from early childhood educators through higher education instructors – that includes students and practicing K-12 teachers, librarians, administrators, graduate students, professors, or independent scholars, as well as those individuals outside of traditional educational spaces, such as artists, activists, and educators from community groups and organizations. We continue providing mentoring opportunities for those interested and fostering relationships through our different activities.
We convene against the backdrop of fraught times. There is an urgent need to connect with others in curriculum and pedagogy and to find solidarity in the work of resisting the increasing ubiquity of white supremacy and neoliberal values. We are better together, in the intersections of our differences, as we seek alternative folkways, habits, customs, and subconscious deeds that allow us to imagine something new. We see curriculum studies as being integral to our teaching, our research, our art, and the ways we move through the world. It is integral to public life, and wholly connected to the daily pedagogical practices of schools.
We invite actors at all levels in the education field to share their views, concerns, perspectives, observations, and experiences about the power relations they deal with multiple inequities while working in the construction of a better reality. We welcome proposals centered on critical, justice-minded perspectives, including (but not limited to) the following
- Social movements as pedagogical spaces
- Border Studies, spaces, and pedagogies
- Decolonial, decolonizing theories and pedagogies
- Bilingual literacy and studies
- Multilingualism and translanguaging
- Social Justice in Education and Society
- Indigenous knowledges and Decolonial Thinking
- Critical Race Theories and Critical pedagogies
- Public pedagogies, both dominant and resistant
- Art-based Research and critical methodologies
- LGBTQ+ Studies and Queer Feminist intersectionalities
- Curriculum Histories and Genealogies
