University of Oklahoma
GENERAL CALL - Click here for pdf
OESA-Norman brings together faculty, graduate students, independent
scholars and teacher-researchers interested in exploring fundamental, critical
problems and questions associated with education, both within and beyond traditional
notions of schooling. This conference is
an excellent opportunity for graduate students to present their work in a
supportive and collegial environment. Faculty
members are also encouraged to attend, to present individually or with
students, and to serve as discussants and moderators. Activists, practitioners, and members of the
community outside academe are also invited to attend, at a reduced registration
fee.
We are especially honored to announce
that our keynote speaker will be past President of AESA (2006), Professor
Steven Tozer, philosopher of education from the University of Illinois,
Chicago. Dr. Tozer who is lead author of
the most widely taught educational foundations textbook, School and Society: Historical
and Contemporary Perspectives (McGraw-Hill, 2008), was also lead editor of Handbook of Research in the Social
Foundations of Education (Routledge, 2011). In keeping with our
theme for 2013, Dr. Tozer has a great deal to share about funding and
developing innovative leadership and mentorship programs that actually take
local and practitioner wisdom seriously toward the end of re-imagining,
reforming, and rebuilding neighborhood schools in Chicago’s West Side.
The 2013 program committee invites proposals
for papers, symposia, and alternative sessions—presenting inquiries on all
topics related to the broad field of educational studies as conceived by OESA’s
national affiliate, the American Educational Studies Association (http://www.educationalstudies.org/). We welcome proposals from a full range of
theoretical, disciplinary, and interdisciplinary perspectives that include the
following educational emphases:
·
History, Philosophy, Sociology, Anthropology, Economics, and
Aesthetics of Education

Activism: Re-Imagining the Future of Leadership and Stewardship in the
Professoriate.
SUBMISSION
ABOUT OESA-Norman (Mission Statement)
OESA-Norman is an academic organization that
takes as its primary mission to support education, and professional development
of prospective, past, and current graduate students doing work in the field of
Educational Studies (http://csfeonline.org/).
It will do this by providing opportunities for academic and professional
development.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Proposal
Overview
In March of last year, OESA-Norman held our
10th anniversary celebration and invited a panel representing university
leadership from administration, policy, practice, and research to discuss “the
future of the professoriate.” The event
was well-received, but time constraints kept us from engaging some of the most
pressing questions regarding the historical and contemporary role of the
American Association of University Professors (AAUP), the status of shared
governance in higher education, the meaning of leadership, and the future of
academic freedom. We
wish to continue that conversation and expand it to include questions
concerning the educational implications of activism and outreach programs that
connect higher education to schools and to the larger community. To that end, this year’s theme focuses on specifically
educational inquiry into how we become leaders in and custodians of our
communities, our classrooms, and our field.
Proposal Guidelines Proposal
Criteria and Length
Proposal submissions should provide a brief
summary of the paper, symposium, or alternative session. Your summary should include: objectives/purposes, context, methods, arguments/conclusions,

Review Process
Multiple reviewers will evaluate all proposals
without access to identifying information about the author(s). Based on the evaluations and recommendations
of the program and academic committee, the OSEA secretary will notify the
person submitting the proposal as to whether the proposal has been
accepted. In the case of co-authored
papers, symposia, or alternative sessions, the OESA secretary will notify the
person who submitted the proposal and that person will notify the other
participants regarding acceptance of the proposal.
Proposal Categories
Individual

Once accepted, individual papers will be
grouped together around common or overlapping themes, in the form of a
symposium, with an assigned chair and/or discussant. Presenters will have approximately 20 minutes

A symposium is composed of three to five
participants (who present or summarize and discuss papers), as well as a chair
and a discussant. Each symposium is
organized around a common theme. A symposium proposal should include the title
of the symposium, a brief (one- or two-paragraph) overview of the symposium
theme, and the title and brief description of each paper. Symposia will be allocated 90 minutes on the
