Strategically Influencing On-line Education: Power, Politics, and Social Dynamics

Posted on June 28, 2011 | Leave a comment

SUBMISSION DUE DATE: September 15, 2011

 

SPECIAL ISSUE ON Strategically Influencing On-line Education: Power, Politics, and Social Dynamics

 

International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies (IJWLTT)

 

Special Issue Editors:

Mahesh S. Raisinghani, Texas Woman’s University, USA

Celia Romm Livermore, Wayne State University, USA

 

Introduction

The power and politics (or social dynamics) of the on-line classroom, the politics of getting a large organization, like a university, to adopt educational technologies to promote specific political agendas in classrooms (e.g., the utilization of the Web during the Obama campaign to promote support for the presidential candidate Obama among school children), the use of on-line technologies for ideological indoctrination or “influencing” in the educational systems of extremist groups of all religions and issues of power and politics that are related to the on-line education of special needs minorities such as people who are physically/intellectually challenged, people of color, women, migrants, and so forth. The changing dimensions of ‘technology’ and ‘learning’ have significant impact globally. The recent success of China and India in moving into the production of high value-added, high-technology products has caused political leaders and their advisors to re-evaluate the global economic challenge. The OECD recently acknowledged that emerging economies including China and India were moving up the value chain to compete with Western organizations for high-tech products and R&D investment. There has been major growth in all OECD countries for expansion into higher education. Canada was the first country to achieve the target of over 50 percent of people aged 25 and 34 to enter the job market with a tertiary level qualification, followed by Korea, which has engineered a massive growth in tertiary provision since 1991. While much of the international business and policy literature has focused on education, globalization, the use of innovation and creative enterprise; it has ignored the shift towards global standardization or alignment within companies, where technology is the key enabler and facilitator. 

 

Objective of the Special Issue

Technology, learning, education and supporting globalization through innovation and creativity leading to a globalized knowledge economy are the main emphasis of this Special Issue of the International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies (IJWLTT).

Recommended Topics

Topics to be discussed in this issue include (but are not limited to) the following:

Best practices in international learning, education and technology

Building multi-disciplinary teams for web-based learning and teaching

Building web-based learning communities

Constructivist approaches to web-based learning and teaching

2012 ALISE Annual Conference

Posted on June 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

Extending Our Reach:  Expanding Horizons, Creating Opportunities
Tuesday, January 17 through Friday, January 20, Dallas, TX
Call for Juried Paper Proposals
Deadline for extended abstracts (maximum 1,000 words): July 15, 2011
Notification of acceptance: September 15, 2011

This call for juried paper proposals seeks original contributions including reports of research, theory, pedagogy, best practices, think pieces, and critical essays that contribute to elaboration of the conference theme of Extending Our Reach:  Expanding Horizons, Creating Opportunities.  Information touches all aspects of our personal and work lives, and the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) has been quick to engage across disciplines as social, cultural, and institutional realities have evolved.  Staying connected in the midst of continuous, sometimes profound, change is not simply reassuring, but a strategic imperative to the growth and health of society, and, along with it, to the design and promotion of LIS, and of LIS education.

The theme for the 2012 ALISE Annual Conference builds on that notion of connectedness, and asks us to think beyond, to stretch, to extend our reach beyond disciplinary boundaries, across the academy, outside of North America, and to areas where a deep understanding of the information lifecycle, of the systems that engage with it, and the individuals who depend on it have been beyond the scope of LIS/Information Studies research and education previously.

(More information on the conference theme can be found at:  http://www.alise.org/)

Proposals should be for original papers, not for papers that have been previously published. There are no restrictions on research methodology.  Alternative perspectives, creative and non-conventional responses to library and information science education concerns within the context of expanding our horizons are welcomed and encouraged.

Instructions for Submission

Extended abstracts should include the following:

o Title of the paper
o Names, affiliations, and contact information of the authors and one author to be designated as the contact for the paper
o Up to 1,000 word description of the proposed paper
o Select reference list

Abstracts will be evaluated by the Juried Paper Proposals Committee according to the following criteria:

o Connection to conference theme
o Relevance to current and emerging issues in LIS education
o Originality of ideas
o Potential impact / significance
o Select references to relevant literature
o Overall quality of writing

The Conference Juried Paper Proposals Committee Chair will send an acknowledgement of all abstracts received and applicants will be informed of the Committee=92s decisions by September 15, 2011.  Conference presentation time slots will be published in the conference program. All presenters are required to register for the ALISE 2012 conference.

Deadline for submissions is July 15, 2011.  Please submit abstracts via email in PDF or WORD format to Don Latham, Florida State University:  dlatham@fsu.edu

Please note:  Juried paper proposals accepted for presentation at the conference, which are developed into full papers, are eligible for consideration for the JELIS best papers conference issue. Deadline for submission of full papers for possible publication in JELIS will be March 1, 2012, and those submissions should be made to the editors of JELIS.

The 4th International Conference on Adoption and Culture Mapping Adoption: Histories, Geographies, Literatures, Politics

Posted on June 27, 2011 | Leave a comment 
March 22 - 25, 2012 The Claremont Colleges, Claremont, California Call for Proposals For our 2012 conference, we are expanding our concerns to include not only adoption in its many historical and cultural variations but also parallel institutions such as foster care, orphanages, and technologically-assisted reproduction, as well as various forms of forced relinquishment or family separation.. We seek proposals that explore the cultural meanings and/or political locations of any of these practices, and we encourage analyses of relationships among them. We will include academic work from a wide range of scholarly disciplines and areas--literature, film and popular culture and performance studies, cultural studies, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political science, law, women's and gender studies, etc.--as well as artistic presentations of film, creative writing, graphic art, music, or productions in other media. We also encourage interdisciplinary panels, presentations, and productions. Proposals may address adoption or related practices or their representation in any way, but we especially encourage work addressing race, class, gender, nationality, and/or sexuality and sexual orientation, and/or investigations of topics such as state and institutional power, (in)fertility, markets and market practices, and incarceration. Confirmed keynote speakers: Catherine Ceniza Choy, Associate Professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies, University of California, Berkeley, whose forthcoming book, Global Families: A History of Asian International Adoption in America, examines how Asian international adoption has contributed to the transformation of the U.S. into an international adoption nation and how its history is also a history of race, labor, immigration and intimacy. Dan Chaon, adoptee, writer, and Irvin E. Houck Associate Professor of the Humanities at Oberlin College, whose first novel, You Remind Me of Me, and most recent novel, national bestseller Await Your Reply, address themes of adoption. Await Your Reply was named one of the ten best books of the year by Publisher's Weekly, The New York Times, and other publications. Please send 200-word proposals for papers or samples of creative work (of less than 10 pages), along with a short c.v. (2-page), to asac2012@scrippscollege.edu. NEW proposal deadline: July 9, 2011 A conference website is under development. For additional information, contact Susan Castagnetto at: scastagn@scrippscollege.edu.

MOTHERHOOD AND POPULAR CULTURE

Posted on June 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association (PCA/ACA)

 

National Conference

 

Boston, Ma, april 11- 14, 2012

 

 

Julie Tharp and Susan MacCallum-Whitcomb write in This Giving Birth: 

 

 

Now that the baby boom generation has come of age in America, mothers are suddenly back in Vogue – and in Time, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal too. Indeed, mothers are suddenly everywhere and their influence is everywhere felt. Pollsters and policy-makers count them; manufacturers cater to them; and corporations work to accommodate them. Marketers adjust to meet their demands and desires, while medical practitioners keep pace by emphasizing prenatal education and offering non-traditional birthing options.Ever since a pregnant Demi Moore exploded the beauty myth by posing nude for a magazine cover and Madonna cast off her boy-toy image to sing the praises of maternity, popular culture has also begun to embrace dear old mom.

                               

 

I am looking for papers for multiple panels for a “New/Special Topics in Popular Culture Area” which embrace any aspect of motherhood and popular culture.

 

 

Possible topics to consider include, but are not limited to, the following: 

 

Mothers, mothering, motherhood and 

 

-TV shows, including talk shows, family dramas, sitcoms, and animation

 

-print and electronic journalism and gossip rags; magazines

 

-celebrity culture

 

-electronic sites/technologies like blogs, Facebook, Twitter

 

-advertising and marketing

 

-visual art including photography, scrapbooking, mixed media

 

-film; performance; music

 

-graphic fiction/memoir

 

-best-selling literatures including mommy lit and momoirs

 

-pregnancy manuals and “expert” parenting guides/literature

 

-sports

 

-fashion

 

-politics

 

-reproductive technologies

 

-law and policy; maternal activism/organizations

 

 

For information on the PCA/ACA, please see: http://pcaaca.org/

 

 

Abstracts (200-250 words) due by December 15, 2011.
