2009 Conference Call for Papers
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 socializationmass media, voluntary organizations, and so onas 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 papers focus and rationale; if accepted, this paper and several 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 the names of the authors, a chair, and 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.
