2021 Call For Proposals
Deadline: April 20, 2021, 4:00pm Pacific

The mission of CAHEP is to enrich the teaching and learning experiences of graduate students and faculty in the Association’s constituent higher education programs within North America and around the world. Towards that end, the purpose of the CAHEP Pre-Conference is to facilitate the exchange among program coordinators/directors, faculty, students, and other interested members of the Association.
 
In keeping with this year’s theme of Spanning and Unsettling the Borders of Higher Education, CAHEP seeks proposals to present research and scholarly papers or facilitate roundtables and symposia that promote place-consciousness—attention to the land, communities, and geographies where higher education programs are situated—as well as proposals that attend to and critique the boundaries and borders of and within higher education programs.
 
Toward this end, we welcome conference proposals that philosophically, practically, and/or empirically address one or more the following questions:

• What are the ethical responsibilities of place-conscious higher education programs in the midst of a global pandemic, systemic racial injustice, and economic crises?

• How do higher education program faculty and leaders navigate institutional pressures related to recruitment, admissions, and revenue generation in the context of a contracting higher education labor market?

• What boundaries animate or constrain curricula, teaching and learning, faculty mentorship, and graduate student agency and support within higher education programs?

• How can higher education programs promote equity, justice, and place-consciousness within internships, practica, assistantships, examinations, dissertations, and other graduate student programming and milestones?

• What are the responsibilities of higher education programs to prepare equity-minded,  place-conscious institutional leaders, practitioners, teachers, researchers, and policy advocates? What responsibilities exist to prepare graduates for careers beyond the boundaries of colleges and universities?

• How can higher education programs become place-conscious in attending to program delivery, structure, and outcomes? What are the responsibilities of higher education programs to their local communities and geographies and to the native inhabitants of the land on which their institutions are located?

• What traditional boundaries of higher education programs merit consideration, critique, and expansion? Within the higher education program ecosystem, what are the roles of smaller and emerging programs, programs at teaching and comprehensive institutions, programs outside of the United States, online programs, and for-profit institution programs?

 
Proposal formats accepted

 
*While CAHEP will not be accepting submissions for Posters, Research and Scholarly Paper authors are able to indicate if they would like to be considered for a Poster if we are unable to accept the proposal in a paper session. In this instance, the Poster will be included in the ASHE General Conference Roundtable or Poster Session. If a member is interested in submitting a Poster with a focus under the mission of CAHEP, we recommend submitting it to the Faculty, Administrative, and Classified Staff; Graduate and Professional Education, Organization, Administration and Leadership; or Teaching, Learning, and Assessment Section of the General Conference.
