Official Announcement:
The Biennial Award for Excellence in Interpreting Philosophy for Children
Every year scholars and practitioners engaged in the field of
philosophical inquiry with children and youth contribute to the growing
body of knowledge that sustains and challenges our work in this field.
Exploring the connection between theory and practice, between
philosophical practice and life, these scholars (both theoreticians and
practitioners) contribute to the revitalization of Philosophy for
Children community worldwide. As with any educational movement, our
strength and capacity to grow rests not only on our work in the field,
but on our capacity to report on significant practices, raise questions,
seek connections, develop theories, investigate assumptions and assess
our educational practice.
2011 Essay Award
The ICPIC community offers an award of US$200 to the winning
submission in an essay competition. The 2011 Award will be the 6th
award since its beginning in 2002. The Aim or purpose of the competition
is to encourage emerging scholars and practitioners in philosophical
inquiry with children to articulate new or renewed visions of the nature
and significance of doing philosophy with children and to acknowledge
their role and efforts in this regard. The award is granted to the best
essay among those submitted on the nature and significance of doing
philosophical inquiry with children and the winning entry is published
on the ICPIC site and in Childhood and Philosophy, a journal of
ICPIC. ICPIC sees this as one important way it can acknowledge and
partner in this important work within the larger world of Philosophy for
Children.
Submission
Essays for the 2011 competition must be submitted electronically in a
Rich Text Format (RTF) by October 31, 2011 to Dale Cannon
<cannodw@wou.edu >, Director of the Award Committee, with a copy
to Felix Moriyon <felix.garciamoriyon@gmail.com >, President of
ICPIC. Essays should be submitted in the applicant's native language
and, if possible, accompanied by a translation into English (over which
the applicant will hopefully have some control).
If an English translation cannot be provided, the Committee in
concert with the ICPIC Executive Committee will endeavor to secure a
translation for purposes of review by Committee members who are not able
to read the paper in its original language. Essays of an empirical
research nature will be eligible, so long as they address the stated aim
of the Award.
Essays already published or accepted for publication
will not be eligible.
Essays are limited to a maximum of 10,000 words.
There is no age limitation and jointly written essays are welcome.
Preference will be given to emerging scholars or practitioners in
philosophy with children (actively participating in philosophy with
