Just sharing three pieces of good news.
1) The proposal submitted by Kathleen Pithouse Morgan for a symposium at AERA 2012 in Vancouver has been accepted. Here are some details of the project and the proposal:
Transformative Education/al Studies Project
http://www.actionresearch.net/writings/southafrica/TESproposalopt.pdf
In this project, educators/postgraduate students in Higher Education
will reflect critically on their learning, teaching, assessment, curriculum
and/or educational professional practice in a variety of ways with the
multiple benefits of improving the quality of their practice, earning the
award of a senior degree and earning research outputs in the form of
publications. This will simultaneously impact positively on the quality
and rate of under and post graduate throughput and research
outputs……
The overarching research question, which when applied idiosyncratically yields a broad spectrum of insights and outcomes, is:
"How do I transform my educational practice as .... ?" This research question can be applied in the individual's direct educational context, with innumerable responses and insights….

2) The proposal submitted by Susan Noffke for a symposium at AERA 2012 in Vancouver has also been accepted:
AERA 2012 (Vancouver) Symposium Title: “To Know is Not Enough”: Action Research as the Core of Educational Research:

3) Ian Phillips has submitted his Doctoral Thesis for examination: My Emergent African Great Story: 'Living I' as naturally including neighbourhood, embodying an audacious Valuing Social Living Pedagogy and imagining the universe luminously, as an energetic inclusion of darkness throughout light and light in darkness:
http://www.actionresearch.net/writings/phillips.shtml
Ian shows how an individual researcher can research their own learning from an African perspective and create their own living methodology, grounded in their methodological inventiveness, as they create their own living theory as an explanation of their educational influence in their own learning, in the learning of others and in the learning of the social formations in which they live and work.
Looking forward to sharing your accounts.
Love Jack
