Call for Papers
54th Annual Meeting of the South Atlantic Philosophy of Education Society
University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill, Friday and Saturday, September 25-26, 2009
Theme: Democracy and Schooling Submission Deadline: Aug. 1, 2009
The SAPES program committee invites proposals to be submitted for presentation at the meeting. Presented papers will be eligible for publication in the Society's yearbook. The theme, Democracy and Schooling, is inspired by national and global conversations about current conceptions of what democratic social and political engagements entail. As the notion of democracy is being debated, so too is the very idea of public schooling. We hope this theme will foster conversations about schoolings potential role in defining, creating and reconstructing democratic societies. We invite papers that broadly address the topic of democratic education, key issues facing schools within democratic societies, and theorizations of what democratic education means. We also invite proposals addressing other philosophical and foundational topics.
Proposals should not exceed 250 words and should be submitted via email attachment in Word, Rich Text, or PDF format to:
Peter Nelsen, SAPES Program Committee Chair (nelsenpj_appstate.edu)
Graduate students are especially encouraged to submit proposals. Limited stipends for graduate student travel are available.
