Balancing Acts: Meaningful Engagement in Scholarship and Practice for Equitable Educational Opportunity
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Bianca Baldridge
Thursday, April 27, 2017; 8:00am-12:00pm
San Antonio, TX; 2017 AERA Annual Meeting
Application: bitly.com/divgprecon.
Interested graduate students must apply by filling out the application form by February 6th, 2017, 5pm PST. Division G Description: Division G examines processes of teaching and learning within a social context. Such an examination takes under consideration social, cultural, political, discourse, and economic influences. Hence, cognition, language, learning processes, and social organization are considered as they are situated in local and global contexts and in relation to demographic, linguistic, and cultural diversity. These complex views of teaching and learning provide a context in which to shed light on the ways in which significant social and technological change shapes our educational research, policy, and practices.
The Division G Mentoring Pre-conference Program (MPP) has the goal of providing mentoring and professional development to graduate students committed to building themselves as scholars committed to social justice. The focus of this year’s pre-conference event will be on engaging in grassroots change for democratic education.
Following Dr. Baldridge's keynote address, breakout sessions of this MPP will include:
Breakout Session 1 In the Thick of It: Justice Work in Historically Marginalized Communities
Breakout Session 2 Managing Justice Work Inside and Outside of the Academy
Ultimately, the 2017 Division G MPP is designed to initiate a conversation about educational social justice and to foster relationships between mentors and mentees at and beyond AERA 2017. Interested graduate students must apply by filling out the Application Form (bitly.com/divgprecon) by February 6th, 2017, 5pm PST. If you have additional questions, please email: [log in to unmask]
