Resituating Accountability

in Curriculum Studies:

Relationality, Responsibility & Refusal


Wednesday, April 3-Friday, April 5, 2019


The American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies invites proposals for its 2019 Annual Conference, to be held in Tkaronto (Toronto) Canada, April 3-5, 2019, at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. “Resituating Accountability in Curriculum Studies” provokes a relational and responsible understanding of accountability. According to feminist scholar Donna Haraway accountability requires situated knowledges that are non-innocent, always partial, and entangled. Indigenous scholar Kim TallBear extends this thinking to include not only relations between human and nonhumans, but also land-based relations that are ethical and political.
