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.
