| Submission form |
| See submitted proposals |
| The purpose of the business event is a scholarly interchange of ideas within the CH-SIG foci AND to attract a good crowd to the SIG meeting to help with recruitment; |
| You may but do not need to be a presenter/participant of the event (you can suggest participants); |
| You should plan the event for about 90 min., giving about 30 min for our regular sig business meeting; |
| This is a separate submission process and nothing to do with the regular AERA submission of proposals; |
| Business event can have diverse formats: traditional (e.g., lecture or symposium) and non-traditional; |
| DEADLINE for the proposal submission is September 15th, 2001; |
| SIG member and non-members (i.e., future member :-) can submit the proposals and vote on them; |
| One person can submit several proposals for the business meeting event; |
| After proposals are posted, we will vote to select three most popular proposals one of which will be selected by the sig executive committee based on feasibility of the proposal. |
Please, post your proposals below. The future of the sig is in our hands and it is up to all of us to make our SIG business meeting productive.
Let us know if you have questions. Good luck,
King Beach (SIG president) and Eugene Matusov (SIG program
officer)

Title: What's in a name? cultural historical/sociocultural/activity
theory/etc
Remote Name: 137.110.21.217
Date: Sunday, October 01, 2000
Time: 07:56 PM -0400
a lot of people have worried on xmca about the significance of names: cultural historical, sociohistorical, sociocultural, activity theory, etc. A discussion of that topic, perhaps with one person who prefers one or another of the names saying why might be of interest to people.
stated above
The wizard said so
Title: Putting An Important Aspect of the "Social" Back into
Our Work

Remote Name: 130.102.5.60
For the business meeting it might be interesting to have a new author present his or her work for about 20 minutes and then break into a social reception. Over wine and cheese we could discuss ideas, share thoughts, exchange addresses and hobnob generally.
Food is always a big draw and it would really help folks to chat with each other and get to know one another.
We are an engaging and interesting group of folks and being able to spend more time together talking and engaging would be incredibly interesting!
Title: Internalizing the publication of CH approaches

Remote Name: 137.110.21.217
There has been a lot of discussion about the distortions in development of CH approaches owing to the dominance of English and Anglo/American journals. A discussion of this topic at the business meeting seems the appropriate forum to think through new solutions to an old problem
Because i hear a lot about it
Title: Changing How We See – What Does Cultural-Historical Research
Offer?

It might be interesting and worthwhile to invite 4-5 colleagues from other traditions within AERA to share their views of the theory/practice embodied by the SIG: has it impacted on them, their colleagues, their division; if so, in what ways; if not, why not? In some cases, the guest panelists would need to familiarize themselves with some key readings (which would be a good thing in itself!).
We could learn from how others see the SIG
This could be an opportunity to engage in a broader dialogue than usual, as well as to get some feedback/assessment on how to have more influence in the field.
Title: Building Centers of Strength in Cultural Historical Research

Representatives of institutions that have already developed substantial faculty, research, and programmatic synergy around Cultural-Historical and related work or that are in the process of building such strength would talk about their experiences, strategies, obstacles, and programmatic concepts and realizations. History, current state of play, and plans for the future could be considered as well as the role of the SIG in supporting developments on various campuses.
As cultural Historical approaches become central to educational research and practice more departments are moving to having more than a couple of faculty members with cultural historical and related orientations. It is useful to reflect on how such programs are being built, the models of intellectual and practical coordination, and the theory-research-practice connections being established.
All SIG members have a stake in the institutional growth of C-H and related approaches. This really is SIG business.
