We here at LCHC are REALLY interested in the role of practicum courses in undergrad education. We have a couple of abstracts ready to roll. Anyone else interested in this topic?? mike On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 7:49 AM, O'Connor, Kevin<kevin.oconnor@rochester.edu> wrote: > (with apologies for double-postings) > > AERA 2010 CALL FOR PROPOSALS Cultural-Historical Research SIG > > ***Deadline for submission: JULY 15, 2009*** > > Dear CH-SIG members: > > We would like to encourage you to submit proposals for papers and symposia > for inclusion in the 2010 CH-SIG program at the AERA Annual Meeting, to be > held in Denver, CO, from Friday, April 30Tuesday, May 4, 2010. > > This year¹s Annual Meeting theme, Understanding Complex Ecologies in a > Changing World, is central to the work of the members of our SIG.
