CALL
FOR PROPOSALS
Emerging Scholars Panel
Due: March 10, 2019
Emerging Scholars Panel
Due: March 10, 2019
The John Dewey Society calls for paper
proposals for its panel for emerging scholars to be held at its annual meeting
in conjunction with the American Educational Research Association meeting in
Toronto in April 2019.
Theme — Dewey in/and China: Cultural Transformation
& Progressive Education in International Settings Today
2019 marks the centennial of the start of John
Dewey’s stay of two years and two months in China. This year the John Dewey
Society is exploring topics related to the above theme, including nationalism,
populism, John Dewey’s influence in China, the intersection of pragmatism and
Confucianism, and the role of culture.
While the general call for proposals has
ended, the John Dewey Society has an exciting new opportunity for those in the nascency
of their academic careers. Or, simply, emerging scholars.
We call for papers, both completed and in
progress, on any topic related to John Dewey. While this call is broad, papers
must use Dewey as the central focus.
Once identified, each emerging scholar will be
paired with a senior scholar at the John Dewey Society annual conference. There
the senior scholars will workshop the paper with the emerging scholar, offer
guidance for potential publication, as well as answer any questions the emerging
scholar has. This is an excellent opportunity to: (1) receive invaluable
mentoring from established scholars and (2) make professional and academic
connections.
