2012 HISTORY OF EDUCATION SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
November 1-4, 2012
The Program Committee invites proposals on all topics relevant to the history of education in any time period or nation. The Committee defines
“education” broadly, to include all institutions of socialization—mass media, voluntary organizations, and so on—as well as schools and
universities. Proposals may be submitted for an individual paper, a complete paper session, or a panel discussion. A proposal for an individual
paper spells out the paper’s focus and rationale; if accepted, this paper and others related to it will be combined into a paper session. A proposal
for a complete paper session provides a prospectus for a coherent collection of three or four papers, including a title for the session, a
title for each paper, names of all authors, a chair, and a discussant. A panel discussion is a session in which a group of qualified panelists
discusses an important issue in the field, where the panelists are not presenting papers. Please include affiliations and email addresses for all
participants.
Proposals are due on or before February 15, 2012 (no later than 9:00 p.m., PT).
Your proposal should either be a two-page proposal, single-spaced, describing an individual paper (references may be in addition to the two
pages), or a four-page proposal single-spaced, describing a complete paper session or panel discussion (again, references may be in addition to the
four pages). The proposal should include the following elements: the topic, the theme, and an overview of the study or discussion; the findings or
conclusions; the significance and how the work relates to other scholarship in the field; and the sources. Please eliminate any identifying information
from your proposal before uploading it but include the affiliations and email addresses for all participants elsewhere as instructed on the website.
To submit a proposal, you will have to go to our proposal submission website. The site will open by 5 December 2011. It is the same website used
for the 2011 Annual Meeting (with a change of year in the address): https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/HES2012. You will be asked to log into,
or create, an account. The simple prompts will then guide you in entering your proposal information, uploading your proposal, and providing some
additional information, including an abstract of your paper or session. The History of Education Society requires all presenters at the 2012 conference
to be members of the society. Invitations for membership will be sent to authors of accepted proposals along with details about the conference.
