repost of email sent to Critical Issues in Curriculum and Cultural Studies Members SIG-AERA
Hello Critical Issues in Curriculum and Cultural Studies Members,
As you likely already know, there has been an ongoing discussion around the Grand Hyatt hotel and the worker-led boycott of that site during AERA. After some extremely generative conversations with colleagues and boycott organizers, we have decided to move the SIG business meeting to an alternate venue, namely the Union Hall at 209 Golden Gate Avenue. This decision comes primarily from our respect for and solidarity with the Hyatt workers, as well as the historical relationship between the field of cultural studies and various labor movements across the globe. Accordingly, it is my hope that we can use the business meeting as a space for discussion around our SIG’s involvement in some of the larger conversations around AERA.
That said, there has been a wealth of diverging opinions on this matter, and for that reason, we have also decided not to prescribe any particular course of action for other sessions within our SIG. We feel that these decisions are best made by the chairs, discussants, and panelists within those sessions, and I am happy to post any messages on their behalf to this listserv. You will notice below that one of our sessions, Problematizing Public Pedagogy, has already been moved to the Union Hall.
The following is the current schedule of events being held at the Union Hall, and after that, I have provided links to the Hyatt boycott’s web site and contact information for booking at the Union Hall:

For the first time since I can remember some members of the American Educational Research Association (AERA)—the largest association of educators and educational researchers in the world—are taking a public stand at AERA’s annual meeting in San Francisco against the corporatization, standardization and privatization of education.
Sadly, the leadership of AERA has invited Arne Duncan, who represents and supports the technocratic, dehumanizing forces of privatization to speak on Tuesday, April 30, 3:45 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel. This and other actions by the AERA serve to support the dismantling of education as a public good, narrow the possibilities of what it means to research, know, learn and share our understandings, and marginalize and silence voices of dissent.
We are inviting teachers, administrators, students, parents and concerned community members to join those of us at AERA as we make visible our support for public education and democratic empowerment

Special Invited Address: U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan (#AERASec)
Title: Choosing the Right Battles: Remarks and a Conversation
Scheduled Time: Tue Apr 30 2013, 3:45 to 4:45pm, Building/Room: Hilton Union Square / Continental 4-6
Session Participants:
Chair: William G. Tierney (University of Southern California)
Ready, set , go!!
ACTIONS to reclaimAERA:
1) We will be distributing armbands with messages of protest. Please take one and wear it throughout the conference.
2) We will be leafleting. Please take leaflets, share, leave them where others will read them, talk with others about the ideas and information on the leaflets (leaflet ideas can be posted on our facebook group)
3) We will have a strong presence at Arne’s talk (Tuesday April 30th 3:45-4:45, Hilton Union Sq. Continental 4-6). Please get there early. Please bring signs. They may not allow signs, so prepare signs on paper that can fit into your bag and then come out during his talk.
4) We are meeting Sunday at 2 PM to discuss the talk and other actions face-face. Please sign up for that event on facebook, and we will let you know the location.
5) Attend the EDU4 session on Wednesday from 2:15-3:45 at the Union Hall 209 Golden Gate to continue the discussion and planning.
6) Support the boycott of the Hyatt. Do not attend sessions there. Move your session if it is scheduled at the Hyatt. The Union Hall is available. Contact us for more information.
7) Watch our facebook page or our twitter (@reclaimAERA, #reclaimAERA, #edjustice) for sessions that name the corporate assault on education.
8) This group came together to bring attention to Duncan’s presence and the corporatization of AERA. While we have taken some leadership, there are other individuals and groups concerned about these issues and taking action.
Please email us at reclaimAERA@gmail.com with ideas to share. We will connect with each other through that email address. Please instigate your own actions. Other things we can do:
Bring these issues up at your SIG meetings and plan other actions from there.
Ask questions at every session you attend about how researchers are addressing the corporate assault on public education.
Send ideas for flyers and signs. We will share these on facebook and the webpage before the conference.
Follow us on twitter for updates during AERA (@reclaimAERA, #reclaimAERA, #edjustice)
We are still looking for Oakland parents and teachers to protest the talk. Please be in touch!
