Dear colleagues in psychology and related areas,
Please consider submitting or having your students submit proposals for presentation at the 2010 Race and Pedagogy National Conference, “Teaching and Learning for Justice in Our Critical Moment of Danger and Opportunity,” October 28-30, 2010, in Tacoma, Washington. The conference is a unique opportunity to experience a blending of cross-disciplinary academic and community-based perspectives on race and education, with a call to partnership and action more visceral than one typically encounters at conferences. The submission deadline is March 8. Please feel free to contact me personally if you have questions (cweisz@pugetsound.edu). Carolyn
For submission guidelines and more information on the conference itself, please go to the following URL:

Here's an introductory statement:
"University of Puget Sound will host its second Race and Pedagogy National Conference Oct. 28–30, 2010, under the theme “Teaching and Learning for Justice in Our Critical Moment of Danger and Opportunity .” This Conference is conceptualized and planned through the Race and Pedagogy Initiative, a collaboration of the university and the South Sound community, particularly the Initiative’s Community Partners Forum. The 2010 Conference serves as a follow-up to the inaugural conference of 2006, which, over three days, brought together 2,000 participants from 39 states, as well as Canada and the United Kingdom, representing more than 100 institutions, including liberal arts colleges, K-12 schools, community colleges, regional state institutions, research universities, and a range of civic and government organizations, to engage issues of race and its impact on education.
We invite proposals for papers, panels, and other presentation formats, including, but not limited to, round tables, posters and performances, and visual art and interactive sessions from a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional, and diverse range of participants, including scholars, teachers, students, and administrators in higher education and K-12 education, along with those involved in educational practices in a variety of civic, artistic, and community-based organizations. All proposals shall be refereed and shall probe the overarching Conference theme along the lines of one or a combination of the following subthemes:
(1) Understanding the Critical Moments of Possibilities and Pitfalls in Education, the Arts and Society
(2) Innovations in Partnerships for Educational Justice
(3) Dilemmas and New Directions in Pedagogy about Race
For specific submission guidelines, please visit the Conference Web site at www.pugetsound.edu/raceandpedagogy. We so look forward to having you with us as we seize our critical moment to engage in dialogue, questioning, discerning, (re)defining and action at the Race and Pedagogy National Conference, Oct. 28-30, 2010, at University of Puget Sound."
