Subject: Fwd: MWERA 2010 in Columbus, OH<br>To: <a href="mailto:brooksg@ohio.edu">brooksg@ohio.edu</a><br><br><br>Dear Colleague,<div><br></div><div>Please consider submitting a proposal to MWERA (it's in Columbus this October) and ESPECIALLY consider recommending that your Graduate Students submit a proposal (we have had undergraduates present in the past, but it's really geared more toward graduate students and faculty). MWERA has a mission that focuses on providing opportunities for graduate students and new scholars to present papers and posters in a supportive environment.</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>MWERA is a wonderful conference for both graduate students and faculty and we usually have a nice group attend from OU. Last year we had papers/presentations from students, alumni, and/or faculty in EDRE, Cultural Studies, Counselor Ed, Instructional Technology, Higher Ed, and Teacher Ed---but other programs have had folks attend in previous years, too. There are divisions in MWERA that suit all graduate programs in Education (we have the same Divisions as AERA, but not any of the SIGs---the Call for Proposals is available as a PDF at the <a href="http://www.mwera.org" target="_blank">www.mwera.org</a> web site and has a list of all the Divisions, if you're not sure).</div>
<div><br></div></div><div>The theme and the link for submitting proposals is in the email forwarded below. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think would be interested. The official deadline for submitting proposals in May 1st. To be honest, this deadline has been extended in past years, but there is no certainty that it will be extended this year, so if you are interested you will probably want to try to submit before May 1 (but if you know you can't work on a short 3-5 page proposal until late April or early May, there may still be a chance for you to submit in May---just no promises).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The conference program from 2009 is still available on the web site if you want to take a look at the kinds of things presented at MWERA last year. You can also sign up to be a reviewer, Session Chair, and or Session Discussant through the All-Academic web site---just use the same "Submit Proposal" tab/link at the top of the <a href="http://www.mwera.org" target="_blank">www.mwera.org</a> page.</div>
