Working Roundtables
From the AERA site Working Group Roundtable. Working group roundtables encourage substantive exchange and interaction among researchers working on a common set of research issues, problems, or themes. Such roundtable submissions are encouraged from organizers working in areas that are cross-cutting, where there are shared research problems or issues that would benefit from cooperation and exchange, or where researchers with complementary interests would benefit from new, synergistic discussions. Working group roundtable submissions are not eligible for consideration if all of the participants are at the same institution or already involved in formal or ongoing research collaboration. The working group roundtable submission is designed to bring individual researchers or teams of researchers together for discussion where there is potential for new substantive gains and research communication or cooperation. All presenters are expected to prepare a brief paper or commentary paper that frames the issues or problems they wish to advance or examine. If we want to propose a roundtable, we will need to have brief papers on the topic. How about how to help action researchers frame their questions in a way that highlights the action and the method of study. Or another topic might be strategies for teaching reflection. We can open a wiki page for a working round table and a group can working on it. But there has to be interest.
