**The complete Conference Program is on the AERA website – http//www.aera.net/ However, there was still incomplete information at the time our Newsletter was published. You will have to choose the “Sponsor” screen in the opening section to access the “Research in Social Studies SIG” sessions because they appear to be omitted from listings for each day of the conference.
Welcome! As in the past year, I will attend as many conference sessions from our own as well as other related SIGs and will then write up abstracts from the papers for a future edition.
MESSAGE FROM OUR SIG CHAIR,BLYTHE HINITZ
Dear Fellow Peace Education Researchers and Colleagues,
This surely has been both a rewarding and a difficult year for those of us who teach peace. What has become clearly evident to me during the past year, and particularly since September 11, 2001, is what a diversified group we are. I believe our strength is in our diversity. We include peace educators and those who teach conflict resolution and mediation; members of local, national and international peace organizations; educators who work with individuals and groups ranging from infancy through tertiary education. We have found since September the truth in the saying that there is more than one “right way” to engage in peace education. Many of us have been called upon in ways and by groups that have never dialogued with us before. I believe that this is good. The more people talk with each other, discover peace-making strategies, use the creative arts as a means to foster peace and infuse peace education into everything we do, the greater change we have of supporting human rights. We can help to stop the violence that is escalating around the world, and in our home communities, by being proactive peace educators. This is the time when the results of our research can be used to the benefit of one person and the benefit of humankind. I am truly looking forward to greeting many of you at our programs at the American Education Research Association’s annual conference. It is particularly important at this time that, even if you are not coming to the conference, you let me know that you have paid your membership to the SIG for this year. This is the first year of centralized SIG billing done by AERA headquarters. We want to make sure that our records of the Peace Education SIG membership parallel the headquarters records. As you are aware, the number of program slots at the annual meeting current is awarded according to SIG membership, therefore our membership records must be up-to-date. I would like to congratulate Dr. Aline Stomfay-Stitz, the editor of this newsletter, on her nomination to the ballot for membership on the SIG Committee that governs all AERA SIGs. The election is currently taking place. If you are a member of other SIGs, you might want to make your SIG chair aware of Aline’s candidacy and qualifications. In this newsletter issue, you will find the information about our SIG Business Meeting and Symposium Panel on Monday, the panel o reviewed papers on Tuesday, the roundtables (including one on 9/11/01) on Thursday, and our co-sponsored sessions. If you attend AERA, please introduce yourself to me or to one of the SIG officers. We want to get to know you as individuals rather than names on a list. I would like to remind that that the election of officers for the coming year will take place at the SIG Business meeting. Please come and exercise your right to vote. Best wishes for a pleasant Spring Semester. Sincerely,BLYTHE HINITZ, Chair, Peace Education SIG
