Please feel free to make additional copies to share with your colleagues. Thank you, Drs. Vanessa Sheared and Peggy Sissel, Editors >> >> CALL FOR CHAPTERS >> MAKING SPACE: REFRAMING THEORY AND PRACTICE IN ADULT EDUCATION >> Vanessa Sheared and Peggy Sissel, Editors >> >>Overview >>The intent of this book is to provide emerging scholars, practitioners, and >>groups traditionally not represented in adult education literature (i.e. >>research, history, theory, practice) a forum to dialog about adult >>education as a field of practice and a body of research. Individuals >>interested in submitting proposals for this book should focus on the >>sociological and political implications of adult education and learning, as >>well as the ways in which adult education as a field has marginalized >>certain groups and practices. >> >>This book hopes to provide adult educators with an opportunity to engage in >>a critical dialog about the ways in which adult education activities, >>functions, and structures have been traditionally viewed in the mainstream >>literature. Additionally, this book will promote an understanding of adult >>education as practiced by and among individuals or groups that have not >>traditionally been affiliated with the field. Moreover, as an educational >>vehicle, this book intends to bring together both mainstream and >>marginalized voices to engage in a dialog about the factors that have >>contributed to the "invisibility" of a significant number of groups and >>individuals who have been involved in adult education activities, but have >>not been adequately addressed in the literature. >> >>Content Sections >>The book has been divided into the following four sections: >> >>"The Deconstruction of Exclusion and the Language of Inclusion" - focuses >>on the way in which the language of adult education, the field's body of >>knowledge, and current and historical policies and practices make invisible >>marginalized adult educators and learners. >> >>"History Revisited and Claimed" - explores the life stories and histories >of those whose experiences have been invisible to the traditional field of adult >>education. Examples include, but are not limited to African Americans, >>women, gays and lesbians, workers, ethnic and cultural groups. >> >>"Reinterpreting the Present" - provides educators a forum for highlighting >>adult educational practices at the grassroots. Contributions to this >>section are sought from practitioners who work with "marginalized groups" >>(e.g. women, individuals of African, Asian, Latin and Native American >>ancestry, gay/lesbians, older Americans, etc.) >> >>"Reconstructing the Field through Practice: Diversity and Inclusion" - >>addresses the implications of emphasizing issues of diversity and inclusion >>in adult education history, theory and practice. Suggestions for future >>directions of the field of adult education will be offered. >> >>Submission Guidelines: >>Persons or groups interested in submitting a proposal for consideration in >>this book should adhere to the following instructions: >> >>1. Submit five copies of the proposal. The title page of the proposal >>should have no author or institutional affiliation. >> >>2. The proposal should not exceed 1200 words. >> >>3. The proposal should identify the section that the chapter applies to, >>and address one or more of the following areas: >> >>a. Offer a critique of the social, political, economic, and historical >>forms of hegemony operating in the field; >> >>b. Analyze the ways in which funding, politics, and history have the >>influenced the way adult education and learning are viewed globally; >> >>c. Examine the ways in which the traditional views and messages in adult >>education literature have marginalized women, people of color, other >>languages, classes, sexual orientations, etc. >> >>4. Provide a cover letter which includes the names, addresses, phone >>numbers, and institutional affiliations of each author or co-authors. >> >>5. Include a resume or curriculum vitae for each author. >> >>6. The following statement must also be included and signed by each author: >>"If my proposal is selected for inclusion in this book, I warrant that I >>will write a 20 page paper (approximately 5000 words) addressing the areas >>identified within this call. I understand that the first draft is due by >>September 15, l997." >> >>Deadline >>The deadline for receipt of proposals is January 15, 1997.
