The 2017 CESJ Graduate Student Forum "Hope and Resistance: Strategies for Social Justice Scholarship and Praxis"
The Critical Educators for Social Justice (CESJ) Special Interest Group (SIG) will offer the ninth annual pre-conference Graduate Student Forum (GSF) at the upcoming annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) conference in San Antonio, TX. This forum is a designated session free of charge for ~ 20 doctoral students. The purpose of the Graduate Student Forum is to create space for doctoral students committed to and engaged in social justice and critical education research to:
1. Help prepare critical scholars for future scholarship and related work.
2. Identify strategies and tools to share and take back to our colleagues, students, communities, and home institutions.
3. Learn from scholars and peers about the possibilities and tensions that arise in social justice and critical education research.
The session includes a light breakfast, full lunch, and a panel of distinguished professors with opportunities to interact informally with panelists and other participants. The GSF will take place Thursday April 27, 2017 8a-1p. For more information about registration and deadlines, please see our news posting here.

The 2017 CESJ Early Career Scholar Forum: Navigating and Surviving the Academy as a Social Justice Scholar
The Critical Educators for Social Justice SIG will offer a pre-conference Early Career Scholar Forum: Navigating and Surviving the Academy as a Social Justice Scholar on Thursday, April 27, 2016, 3:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. Location: TBA at the upcoming 2017 AERA Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX.
This pre-conference forum is for early career scholars (non-tenured). The forum is open to early-career tenure track faculty, non-tenure track faculty, and postdoctoral scholars. During the forum, participants will gather with scholar-mentors from CESJ to discuss various topics related to research and scholarship, teaching, community-engaged scholarship, and service. The purpose of the forum is to provide early career scholars with 1) a sense of community with scholars committed to critical scholarship and social justice; 2) mentorship from a range of scholars (junior and senior level colleagues); 3) practical tools and strategies for navigating academic contexts; 4) a chance to network and build community with other CESJ early career scholars. This is the SIG’s second year offering this event. For more information about registration and deadlines, please see our news posting here.

CESJ SIG BIZ MEETING & SOCIAL LOCATION AND DATE CHANGE
Calling all social justice artists, musicians, and poets! This year, we are trying something a bit different for our CESJ social by hosting an Open Mic Night on Sunday, April 10, 9-11. We invite you to consider lending your musical, poetic, and other artistic gifts to our theme: "Same Song, Different Verse: Art & Activism in Social Justice Education". Activist art can help us make sense of the past, present, and future of the enduring struggles, recurring questions, and ubiquitous themes in social justice education—and taps into an important part of us that doesn't get much air time at AERA.
What makes you despair? What gives you hope? How can the arts help sustain our education justice work? Please sign up to perform here: http://goo.gl/forms/InJB3ToAQn Do it now. We know you want to.
Everyone is welcome to the event. There's plenty of space, so no need to RSVP to attend. There will be FREE FOOD, of course, including options for vegans and gluten-free folks. We’re hosting it at the African American Civil War Museum, just one mile north of the convention center. It's also easily accessible from the metro. Just take the green/yellow line north to the U Street stop (two stops north of the Convention Center) and exit on the 11th street side. You'll take the escalator or elevator to a small plaza and the museum is just to your left (the east) across the street. Doors open at 8:30 after our Business Meeting.
Speaking of which... don't forget to join us for our Business Meeting beforehand. We’ll give a brief presentation about the state of the SIG, then turn it over to an amazing panel who will discuss what they see as themes and challenges connecting the past, present, and future of social justice and education. We’re thrilled to have Marta Baltodano, Ed Curammeng, Chris Emdin, Alma Itzé Flores, Rita Kohli, and Zeus Leonardo join us. Hope to see you there! (Did we mention free CESJ water bottles will go to the first twenty-five members who show up?)
