Call for Papers
66th Annual Meeting 2010
66th ANNUAL MEETING 2009
The 66th Annual Meeting of the Philosophy of Education Society (PES) will be held from Thursday, April 8 through Monday, April 12, 2010 at the Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco. The Program Committee invites papers to be submitted for presentation at the Annual Meeting and for subsequent publication in the PES Yearbook, Philosophy of Education 2010. The Committee also invites three other types of proposals: 1.) Proposals for alternative sessions; 2.) Proposals for topical discussions to take place at the meeting; and 3.) Proposals for work-in-progress that bring participants together to share a meal as a collaborative space for developing ideas that are not yet ready for the regular paper submission process.
Accepted papers and proposals will bring the resources of educational philosophy to bear on contemporary educational questions and problems through a critical engagement with the diversity of national and international perspectives and traditions.
The Program Committee will review only submissions made in accordance with the instructions below. With the exception of the Presidential Address, the Kneller Lecture, and other specially designated invited talks, only those papers reviewed and accepted by the Program Committee, and invited responses to them, will be published in Philosophy of Education 2010.
DEADLINE: Submissions must be filed electronically on the Open Journal System (OJS) no later than November 1, 2009. Detailed filing instructions appear below.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS: Papers may not exceed 4500 words, including footnotes, and must be written in proper PES form (see the Style Guide).The 4500-word limit will be strictly enforced. Papers that modestly exceed the 4500-word limit will be subject to editing. Papers that exceed this limit excessively will be subject to rejection without review or to not being published in the PES Yearbook.
Multiple reviewers will review papers blindly. Final decisions on manuscripts rest with the Program Chair. Criteria for review include quality of argument, links to philosophical and philosophy of education literature and to educational practice, quality of expression, and importance of the contribution. Please make sure that references to your name, institutional affiliation, or work (e.g., “As I have argued on many occasions…”) are omitted from the paper, including the notes. Your identifying information will be matched to your submission through the Open Journal System (OJS) and will not be available to reviewers.
PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS: Proposals may not exceed 400 words, including references. They take three general forms:
• ALTERNATIVE SESSIONS may be scheduled concurrently with paper sessions or in evening time slots. Examples include roundtables, poster dialogues, authors’ talks, performances, consultations, interviews, and conversations on issues. Criteria for review include originality and clarity of motivating question or idea, potential interaction with session attendees, and relevance/importance to educational philosophy and educational practice.
• TOPICAL DISCUSSIONS are scheduled during mealtimes and evenings. Examples include small informal discussions on selected readings, special interests, and current debates, especially relating to educational practice. Criteria for review include originality and clarity of motivating question or idea, potential interaction with session attendees, and relevance/importance to educational philosophy and educational practice.
• WORK-IN-PROGRESS SESSIONS group scholars with work-in-progress in an informal collaborative setting. Proposals should detail the question or claim being investigated, relevant sources/resources, likely direction, and mode(s) of analysis. Criteria for review include originality and clarity of question/claim, suitability of sources/resources, suitability of mode(s) of analysis, potential for contribution to educational philosophy and educational practice.
