September 2008 

On behalf of Canadian Association of Curriculum Studies, the University of Ottawa, and our conference committee, we cordially invite professors, graduate students, teachers, and community leaders wanting to provoke historical, present, and future perspectives within the field of Canadian Curriculum Studies to participate in the 4th Biennial Provoking Curriculum Studies Conference.

This conference precedes the CSSE and CFHSS conferences.

About the conference

The Provoking Curriculum Studies Conference provides a key occasion for complicated conversation regarding the content, context, and process of education, the organizational and intellectual center of which is the curriculum.

Hosted by the University of Ottawa , the 2009 edition of the conference will encourage experimental presentations that enable understanding of uniquely Canadian curricular issues. As curriculum theorists committed to educating the public in this current era of social, technological, environmental and curricular globalization, how might we then locate such understanding within the field of Canadian Curriculum Studies? Focusing, on the significance of curriculum history to understanding Canadian curriculum in the present and imagining curriculum in the future, our conference is An Uncommon Countenance: Provoking Historical, Present, and Future Perspectives within Canadian Curriculum Studies.
