A group of practitioner-researchers have organised a Symposium at the largest
annual gathering of educational researchers at the American Educational Research
Association Conference in San Diego on the 16th April 2004.
In this symposium they are accounting for their own lives of enquiry in terms of their
embodied values and understandings. The Symposium is on:
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POTENTIAL OF INDIVIDUALS' COLLABORATIVE SELF-
STUDIES FOR SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL NETWORKS OF
COMMUNICATION
and the contributors are: Caitriona McDonagh, Bernie Sullivan and Jean
McNiff from the University of Limerick; Joan Whitehead and Bernie
Fitzgerald from the University of the West of England; Cheryl Black
and Jackie Delong from the Grand Erie District School Board, Ontario;
Jack Whitehead of the University of Bath and Maggie Farren of Dublin
City University,
The presentations can now be viewed by scrolling down the live links from the AERA
Symposium Proposal at:

You might like to act like a symposium discussant and respond to the ideas in any of
the presentations or to your sense of the significance of the collection as a whole in
relation to the creation of a scholarship of educational enquiry with its new living
standards of judgement.
Love Jack.
