CALL FOR PROPOSALS - SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 13, 2011

The University of Pennsylvania’s Association of African American Graduate Students in Education (AAAGSE) invites you to submit proposals for the AAAGSE Race and Education Symposium. We solicit paper submissions that critically address the intersections of race and education by transcending surface level inquiry to examine the significance of race in K-12 and higher education institutions as well as informal learning contexts.

Given persistent disparities in academic performance, access, attainment, and preparation for students of color, AAAGSE seeks proposals that address persistent racial inequalities within education that influence the experiences of students as well as the professional development of emerging scholars, teachers, and other education professionals. We also encourage proposals that focus on any aspect of race that demonstrates a clear integration of racial influences on academic institutions, communities, or other disciplines.

Paper submissions from all disciplines and academic levels are welcome. To submit a proposal, email your name, institution, email address, proposal title, and proposal abstract in no more than 500 words in a Word document to aaagse@gmail.com by March 13, 2011. All presenters must register to attend the symposium.
