Curriculum Inquiry Writing Fellowship and Writers' Retreat

Call for Nominations 2020
June 15-20, Toronto

Nominations Due February 1st 2020

The Editors of Curriculum Inquiry are pleased to invite nominations for the 2020 Curriculum Inquiry Writing Fellowship (CIWF) and Writer’s Retreat, to be held at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, from June 15 to 20. Up to eight Fellows will be selected to participate in a four-day writer’s retreat and workshop, culminating in potential publication in Curriculum Inquiry in 2021.

The CIWF seeks to support emerging scholars, including advanced doctoral students, recent graduates, and junior faculty (within three years of completing doctoral degree), who are contributing to new directions in curriculum studies. We are particularly interested in work that emphasizes critical, anti-oppressive, decolonizing, Indigenous, trans, queer, disability, and other approaches that seek to “Brown” or otherwise interrupt hegemonic and normative approaches to curriculum studies. Nominations for emerging Indigenous scholars and scholars of color, as well as disability scholars are particularly encouraged. Please note that authors that have previously published in CI are not eligible.

Call for Papers for special issue: "Curricular Confrontations in the Wake of Anti-Blackness and in the Break of Black Possibilities"

This special issue of Curriculum Inquiry aims to give readers and curriculum workers entry points into an expansive, interdisciplinary dialogue on anti-Blackness in curriculum studies. We ask contributors to consider how the heterogeneity of Black being and becoming, which inherently encompasses the multiplicities of Blacknesses within the African Americas as well as across a diaspora inhabited by African, Caribbean, and Afro-Latinx peoples, is (mis)represented in the overall project of knowledge (re)generation as historically and currently undertaken in the west. With deference to scholars like George Dei, Cynthia Dillard, Stuart Hall, bell hooks, Fred Moten, Christina Sharpe, Sylvia Wynter, and Frank B. Wilderson III, among many others, we theorize anti-Blackness as epistemic, ideological, material, and spiritual violences against Black peoples. These manifestations of anti-Black violences are contoured by a hyper-climactic obsession with and disregard for Blackness as bonded to Black bodies, experiences, and knowledges. Moreover, we understand the (mis)representations, absences, and erasures of Black peoples in curriculum studies as factors informing Blackness being imagined solely in opposition to intellectualism and humanity.
