Deadline Extended: The First International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry

Due to the growing interest in new conference panels and increasing volume
of requests for submission deadline extension, the deadline for submissions
of open-panel session proposals and all papers to the First International
Congress of Qualitative Inquiry is now extended to January 15, 2005, while
the previous deadline of December 1, 2004 still holds effect for
closed-panel session proposals. Notification of the acceptance of
closed-panel proposals will be given by December 15, 2004. Please continue
to visit our conference website www.qi2005.org for more information, and
take advantage of this extension to work on your proposal and papers.

The First International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry will take place at
the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, from May 5-7, 2005. The theme
of the First International Congress of Qualitative Research focuses on
"Qualitative Inquiry in a Time of Global Uncertainty." The mission of the
conference is to provide a forum for conversations on the interdisciplinary
implications of positivist legislation and academia for critical qualitative
scholarship especially in indigenous, border, feminist, race, queer, and
ethnic studies, and to build and expand the already robust tradition of
Qualitative Inquiry.

Following topics are supposed to be taken up in the conference
€ Autoethnography & Performance Studies
€ Critical Ethnography as Performance
€ Critical Pedagogy
€ Cultural Policy 
€ Cultural Studies, Education & Pedagogy
€ Decolonizing Neo-colonial Methodologies
€ Developments in Participatory Action Research
€ Ethics, IRBs & Academic Freedom
€ Ethnicity & Race

The Logic of the Holocaust: Why the Nazis Killed


THE LOGIC OF THE HOLOCAUST: Why the Nazis Killed 

Richard Koenigsberg is keynote speaker at the 24th ANNUAL HOLOCAUST
EDUCATION WEEK, Toronto, Canada. 

HOLOCAUST EDUCATION WEEK is the largest annual gathering of its kind in the
world. Events will occur throughout the city of Toronto. 50,000 programs
will be distributed. The complete program may be found here. 

THE LOGIC OF THE HOLOCAUST: Why the Nazis Killed
Location: Beth Jacob V'Anshei Drildz Synagogue
For further information contact: Orion Anderson: 718-393-1104 

The Holocaust is studied and remembered because it is believed that by
increasing awareness of the events and horrors of the past, this chapter of
history will never be repeated. However, what precisely do we hope to learn?
What "lessons" might we expect to take away from this horrendous event? 

Dr. Richard Koenigsberg's research focuses on the ideology and minds of the
perpetrators. His presentation will explore the logic of the Holocaust--the
meaning of those ideas that were the source of genocide. By understanding
the motives of Hitler, Goebbels and other Nazi leaders, perhaps we can begin
to become aware of the forces that lead societies toward destruction and
self-destruction. 

To read Richard Koenigsberg paper, THE LOGIC OF THE HOLOCAUST: Why the Nazis
Killed the Jews, please go to:

RE: Disney & Native Americans: request for materials

Funny, I remember attending a conference exactly 4 years ago called
Re-Thinking Disney where Winona LaDuke presented (via video link because she
was advised not to travel to the conference - which was in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida) a paper on Pocahontas. I don't know if it has been published
anywhere - most delegates back then were focusing more on ballots...

CCL--call for papers


CCL: Canadian Children's Literature/ Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse
is moving to the University of Winnipeg as of January, 2005, with Perry
Nodelman of the Department of English as Editor and Mavis Reimer of the
Department of English and Anne Rusnak of the Department of French Studies
and German Studies as Associate Editors.  The new editors are now accepting
submissions.  

CCL: Canadian Children's Literature/ Littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse
is a bilingual refereed academic journal that advances knowledge and
understanding of texts of Canadian children's literature in a range of media
in both English and French.  CCL publishes sound theoretically informed
scholarship about all aspects of texts for Canadian children in both of
Canada's official languages. The journal focuses on texts for and about
Canadian children of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds both in terms of
how the texts function culturally and ideologically in the lives of Canadian
children and adults and of how they represent a specific kind of literature
requiring consideration in terms of their artistry and of literary and
cultural history and theory.  CCL seeks articles from specialists in English
and /or French literature, theatre and drama, media studies, literary
theory, education, information science, childhood and cultural studies, and
related disciplines on any and all texts for Canadian children in a range of
contexts: the economic and cultural aspects of their production and
consumption, the history and nature of children's literature and culture
nationally and internationally (including discussions of Canadian texts in
relation to those published elsewhere), and literature and literary and
cultural history and theory generally.  CCL also seeks articles that explore
the practical implications of the research it publishes for librarians,
teachers, and other practitioners who work with child readers.
