AERA Division G, Section 1 - Request for Reviewers
AERA-GSL Graduate Studies Discussion Forum Dear Friends,
As the Division G, Section 1 program chair for the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, I am seeking your assistance in putting together the best possible Program. Toward this end, I am inviting you to serve as a reviewer for DGS1 proposals this summer and to consider also serving later as either a chair or a discussant on the 2007 Program next spring. I would also appreciate it if you would extend this invitation to your respective circles of colleagues and graduate students. The Meeting convenes in Chicago from Monday, April 9 to Friday, April 13.
Next year’s Program theme is “The World of Educational Quality.” Division G, Section 1 considers this theme within the Local Contexts of Teaching and Learning. This section encompasses studies of local contexts and settings of teaching and learning in formal and informal venues. Along these lines, DGS1 invites papers with a broad range of topical interests that bring into relied the local contexts and situated organizations of action and meaning. Units of analysis may be comprised of actual lessons, assessment practices, tasks, identities, structures, classroom interactions, the language of social interaction in educational settings, encounters of teaching and learning, and so on. These studies include but are not limited to qualitative designs, ethnographic, microethnographic, sociolinguistic, discourse and other language use studies, interactional analyses, and case studies. Our purpose is to build descriptions of, and theoretical insights about, teaching and learning in context and in the diversities of its achievements.
The opening of the proposal submission cycle begins June 1 and ends August 1 at 11:59 p.m., Pacific Standard Time. You will be able to sign up as a reviewer for Division G, Section 1 soon after the submission cycle begins. Again, please circulate this invitation among your friends and colleagues at your home university and at others -- we especially seek the participation of graduate students. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to working with you to produce the bomb program.
Take care and persevere,
Garrett
