California Institiute for Integral Studies - Community Meeting
Cyril O. Houle Pre-Conference All past and present Cyril O. Houle Scholars are invited to present at the 4th Annual Houle Scholar Pre-Conference. The conference goal is to provide a global forum for scholars to share their research experiences with a broader audience of Houle Scholars and other interested AERC participants. Scholars may rekindle relationships and initiate new ones through dialogue about research on international adult education issues.
Indigenous People Pre-Conference This is the first Indigenous Scholarship pre-conference held in conjunction with the 44th annual Adult Education Research Conference. The purpose of the pre-conference is to provide a forum for exploring the topic of Indigenous Scholarship. As scholars, Indigenous Educators often find their approach to learning, teaching, and meaning making unique not only in methods but in its purpose for and in their communities. In this forum we will collectively and experientially explore Indigenous Scholarship to understand and articulate how knowledge in our cultures is created, sustained and for what purpose perpetuated. Participants will be encouraged to bring forth their own indigenous ways of knowing as we dialog and discuss issues, concerns, and problems relevant to defining knowledge construction in our cultures that can advance the development of pedagogues which honor our world views.
Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Queer Pre-Conference The year 2003 marks the 10th anniversary of the LGBTQ Caucus. This first Queer Pre-conference examines relationships at the intersections of truth/power/knowledge. Papers/discussions will center on: What counts a knowledge, and what knowledge counts in LGBTQ discourse? How have Queer communities exposed/replaced categories such as family/citizenship/democracy? How do Queer communities engage in sense making beyond hetero/homo duality to re/construct social difference in new and meaningful ways? Papers in the morning will be followed by a walking tour of the "the Castro", San Francisco's most famous "gay neighborhood".
Mid-year Meeting of The Commission of Professors of Adult Education (CPAE) This informal mid-year meeting of the Commission of Professors will provide an opportunity to discuss the status of adult education graduate programs and review the kinds of research training currently provided in various programs. Members of the Commission will be invited to present a short summary of the research methods preparation required in their graduate programs and provide a brief oral summary of the status of their programs. A short summary will also be provided of the current year's work of the Commission and plans for our annual conference in Detroit.
