2010 Proposal Submissions
23 May, 2009
Hello Narrative Inquirers,
We’re calling out a crew! Roll up your sleeves and submit your proposals to the Narrative SIG for the 2010 Annual AERA meeting in Denver, Colorado. The time is here: the proposal submission system opened June 1 and will remain open until July 15, 2009.
Please note the following changes to the proposal submission process:
1. The deadline for AERA 2010 proposal submissions has been advanced
by two weeks to JULY 15, 2009. The proposal submission system will
be open on June 1 and closed on July 15, 2009. The length of
proposals has been increased.
2. The number of paper and symposium sessions will be reduced to
about 1,000 total (from 1,400 previously). The lost sessions will be
substituted with increased numbers of roundtable sessions and poster
sessions. Please be sure to indicate at least two modes of presentation
for your submissions (e.g., poster and paper). The overall allotment of
paper sessions across AERA has decreased. This will result in an
increased use of other presentation modes.
3. AERA is in the process of promoting the status of roundtable and
poster sessions by implementing a new format for the sessions. The
new format will be working group roundtable and structured poster
sessions.
4. All paper, symposium, roundtable, and poster session submissions
will require a full paper uploaded to the submission system at least
three weeks prior to the beginning of the Annual meeting.
5. The peer review process will be changed to a form of review panel
that consists of a group of experts in the area. Graduate student
reviewers may participate in the review panel; however, the rating
scores made by graduate student reviewers will not be calculated
into the final rating scores.
The details of these changes are in the March issue of Educational
Researcher (Vol. 38, No. 2, pp. 153-155).

In a nutshell:
*Due Date July 15, 2009
**Fewer paper sessions accepted
***More roundtable sessions are being created
****More poster sessions are being created
Roll up your sleeves and join our crew: There’s work to be done.
Best wishes,

Letter from the Chair
April 3, 2009
Dear Narrative SIG members,
As of 2009, AERA requested that each SIG has a set of bylaws. Working from the outline AERA provided, Cheryl Craig, Stefinee Pinnegar, Elaine Chan and Vicki Ross developed a set of bylaws. I have reviewed them twice and think they reflect the ways that our SIG has functioned. We would ask that you read them prior to the business meeting of the SIG. If you have concerns, Cheryl or I would like you to email us. If there are concerns raised that we cannot attend to prior to the business meeting, we will take more time to work with them. If there are no serious concerns, then we propose to vote on them at the business meeting which will be held on Thursday, April 16 a the SIG business meeting. Please be in touch!
I want to thank the committee for their hard work. I think they have done an excellent job of capturing the spirit of our SIG so that the bylaws can reflect how we have worked.
With all good wishes,
Jean Clandinin
Letter from the Program Chair
May 20, 2008
Dear Narrative SIG members,
For me, highlights of AERA 2008 in New York include memories of engaging Narrative SIG sessions, presented and attended by many of you. As summer draws near and flowers begin to grow in my small garden, it is time to think about next year’s AERA in San Diego.
If you were at the annual general meeting in New York, you may recall two books I shared, The Lotus Seed (Garland, 1993) and The Tiny Seed (Carle, 1987). Just as the seeds in our gardens are beginning to sprout this spring, it is time to nurture the seedling ideas we have for proposals (and I know you have many!). It’s time to begin to write those proposals to submit for the 2009 annual meeting. Proposals are due at the end of July. I hope we will have many proposals from you, because this helps ensure we get more spaces in the program.
I would also like to encourage you to also sign up to be reviewers for proposals. We will so appreciate your help. Please also think about volunteering to be a chair or a discussant. Our SIG will grow and flourish with the involvement of many members.
And, if you have not yet renewed your membership in the Narrative SIG, this would be a great time to do so.
I am looking forward to hearing from you!
With wishes for a productive spring,
Anne Murray Orr
