[Session Title][Date][Time][Location][Why you are recommending this session]

Presidential Address, Kris Gutierrez, CU-Boulder - **Designing Resilient Ecologies: Towards a Human Science of Learning** Sun Apr 10 4:05-6:05 pm, New Orleans Marriott, Mardi Gras Ballroom I would expect that this talk will touch on many of the same themes as Yrjo's session, developing these themes specifically toward a more expansive view of learning focused on what Kris calls "social design experiments". (Kevin O'Connor)

Presidential Session, **Beyond New London: Literacy Learning and the Design of Social Futures**. Sat Apr 9 8:15am-10:15am, Sheraton, Napoleon Ballroom C2 This session involves members of the "New London Group", whose 1996 paper "A pedagogy of multiliteracies: Designing social futures" was a landmark in New Literacy Studies. The notion of 'designing social futures' as developed by these panelists will, I expect, relate to but perhaps be different from the idea of 'intervening to shape the future in our working group's target session. (Kevin O'Connor)

Cultural Historical Research SIG Business Meeting: ** Per-form, Re-form, Trans-form: Cultural Historical Research and Social Justice ** Sun Apr 10 6:15 — 8:15 pm, JW Marriott / Ile de France The focal panel in this session will feature Rethink, a New Orleans youth group formed after Hurricane Katrina to re-envision and transform city schools. You'll have an opportunity to see one of the reportedly sensational performances they take to schools throughout the city. The “Rethinkers” will then join a panel of AERA activist researchers to discuss youth development, the arts, and community change from cultural historical and social justice perspectives. I think that this panel will give us a chance to think through some of the ideas in the Engestrom session with respect to one example of intervention intended to shape a new social future. (And, in addition to food for thought, there will be actual food - a free buffet featuring Cajun and Creole cuisine!) (Kevin O'Connor)

Presidential Session: **Designing and Testing Theories of Implementation: Design Research with Educational Systems** Saturday, April 9, 8:15a - 10:15a, Sheraton / Napoleon Ballroom A2&A3 This session introduces and presents examples of design-based or improvement-oriented implementation research, an approach to studying reforms and improving the likelihood that ambitious, comprehensive reforms can be implemented well at scale. The session articulates the transdisciplinary nature of this research, which blends the design orientation of the learning sciences with the theoretical perspectives of policy research. (Bill Penuel)
