A call for papers
Deadline for proposals: March 1, 2001
The seventh annual meeting of the Canadian Network for Environmental
Education and Communication, July 18-20, 2001
"Telling Our Stories"
Hosted at Yukon College in Whitehorse, Yukon, by:
Canadian Journal of Environmental Education and
The Environmental Education Association of the Yukon
Storytelling has always been important to northern peoples. And now the
narrative voice is being rediscovered. Today many practitioners and
researchers think of their work as "telling stories." The three
conference
strands link themes central to the "northerness" of the conference
location
and the teaching and learning of traditional forms of communication.
Come
and share your stories.
Conference strands:
Environmental Education with a Northern Flavour
Consider education and wild places, the role of experiences and natural
history, and circumpolar perspectives
Narrative: The stories we tell
Explore narrative aspects of traditional knowledge, drama, music, dance
and
"narrative as research."
Research: What stories tell
Examine emerging research trends-in philosophy, participatory inquiry,
feminist critique, historical interpretation, phenomenology, narrative
inquiry, ethics, and more.
Four Session Formats:
… Workshops. Develop specific professional skills and/or involve
significant hands-on participant involvement in activities. Maximum
time
90 minutes.
… Presentations. Focus on a single topic and share your work with
colleagues. Maximum time, 20 minute presentation and 10 minutes for
questions.
… Roundtables. To accommodate larger number of presenters we will have
roundtable sessions. A number of presenters will be grouped in one
session. Each presenter will have 10 minutes to discuss their work.
Those
interested in your work, and who wish to learn more, are encouraged to
make
personal contact during conference free time.
… Work in progress. Primarily for graduate students and others who
would
like constructive feed back on their emerging ideas. Maximum time, 20
minute presentation and 10 minutes for questions and discussion.
