Saturday, November 14, 2009
8 AM – 2 PM Henzlik Hall
Continental breakfast and light lunch provided.
All undergraduate and graduate CEHS students are invited to share their work with fellow students, faculty, and other educators and community members. Also invited are other UNL students and recent alums who have engaged in the study of education and/or human sciences. The aim of the conference is to give students an opportunity to showcase their work and dialogue with peers and mentors about important issues in education and the human sciences. Poster and paper presentations welcome.
Presentations should address some topic relevant to education. This is a research conference, but research is understood broadly. Students may present completed projects or work in progress. They might present work completed for a class, or work undertaken for a master' s summative project, or dissertation proposal.
No particular research approach is preferred. For example, inquiries may be empirical, historical, or philosophical. Papers may have a single author or multiple authors. We welcome presentations in different formats, for instance, panel discussions as well as formal papers. There will be time and space set aside for poster sessions as well.
*Proposals must be typed and include a cover sheet. See the proposal cover sheet below for further reference.
*Students should be aware that research with human subjects likely would need approval from the Institutional Review Board. Students are responsible for obtaining the necessary approval.
Keynote address at 9 AM
Katherine Richardson Bruna is an Associate Professor of Multicultural and International Curriculum Studies at Iowa State University. Her ethnographic research on the school experiences in science of newcomer Mexican youth in a demographically-transitioning midwest community has been published in a number of scholarly journals, including Cultural Studies of Science Education, Linguistics & Education, the Journal of English for Academic Purposes, and Multicultural Perspectives. She is editor (with Kimberly Gomez) of The Work of Language in Multicultural Classrooms: Talking Science, Writing Science (Routledge, 2009), and her invited chapter for the International Handbook on Science Education on the topic of science schooling and US Mexican youth is forthcoming. With an interest in transnational approaches to professional development, Richardson Bruna has also led several delegations of Iowa teachers and administrators to rural Mexico and has facilitated visits by Mexican teachers to Iowa schools.
