Network Representatives:
Call for Papers for the Education, Knowledge Production, and Science Studies Network of the Social Science History Association
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit a proposal to participate in the 37th annual meeting of the Social Science History Association by submitting a paper, panel, or poster proposal to the Education, Knowledge Production and Science Studies Network of the SSHA. The meeting will take place November 1-4, 2012, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. For more information on the meeting as well as the call for proposals, please refer to the SSHA website: http://www.ssha.org
The deadline for paper and/or panel submissions is March 1, 2012.
The members of the Social Science History Association share a common interest in interdisciplinary and systematic approaches to historical research, and many of us find the SSHA one of the most interesting and varied conferences that we attend. The thematic topic of the 2012 annual meeting is "Histories of Capitalism".
We welcome panels and papers on any topic of interest to scholars of education and knowledge production. We are also interested in paper sessions on specific kinds of topics that relate to the larger theme of the conference and/or to the history of education and knowledge production anywhere in the world. We discussed such themes at the network planning session in Boston in November and hope they inspire some ideas for panels and papers:
- work on the southern U.S. during the early national period, including work in urban education, as the market economy was expanding in this period,
- work on knowledge construction in economics and in political economy,
- work on the history of education in Canada,
- discussion of the problems of sources and methods in the history of education in analog and digital formats,
- work on proprietary or for-profit schooling in the context of capitalism and educational access and choice,
- work on neoliberal education policy from a comparative perspective,
- research in the history or education and the history of childhood what the two fields have to say to each other,
- work on education for the market with gender as a lens, perhaps schooling for the market connected to the history of capitalism,
- work on the state and teachers as leaders,
- and/or work on gender and curriculum and the market place.
The EKPSS network can host panels and can place additional papers through co-sponsorship with other networks. For that reason, we would appreciate your listing other networks with which you think your paper or panel submission might be co-sponsored. SSHA is also encouraging poster session submissions. We would be glad to review proposals for poster sessions for EKPSS.
The SSHA requests that submissions be made by means of its web conference management system. Paper title, brief abstract, and contact information should be submitted on the site http://www.ssha.org, where the general SSHA 2012 call for papers is also available. (If you haven’t used the system previously you will need to create an account, which is a very simple process.) Here is the direct link for submissions: http://conference.ssha.org
The online system is now accepting submissions. If you have any questions, please contact either of the EKPSS co-chairs:
