Welcome!

I write this welcome message on the final day of NCSS 2018, in anticipation of the work that lies ahead for those of us with the privilege and responsibility of planning CUFA and NCSS 2019 in Austin, Texas. I first want to thank our fearless CUFA 2018 leaders, Chair Alex Cuenca and Program Chair Chris Busey, who created an uplifting, inspiring and diverse conference that truly illuminated the tremendous amount of scholarship in the field of social studies education. Drawing from Chris' conference vision, Expanding the intellectual contours of social studies education in troubling times, as well as the many program chairs who preceded him, such as my dear friends and colleagues Brooke Blevins and Sarah Shear, we intend to continue highlighting innovations in our field while also considering how to move the field forward in our complex world and current political climate.

We will regularly update this unofficial conference website to support CUFA members as they prepare for our Austin convening on November 20 and 21st, with information from funding opportunities to dining and entertainment recommendations. Please comment if there are any specific topics you'd like to see/hear more of in 2019 and share what you loved in 2018!

Noreen Naseem Rodríguez, PhD Iowa State University CUFA 2019 Program Chair

All hands on deck: Please sign up to review!

The submission window for CUFA 2019 proposals is officially closed! We had a record 257 proposals submitted across a range of session formats and topics. Narrowing those down will be a daunting task that requires all hands on deck! Please sign up to be a reviewer at the bottom of  https://cufa2019.socialstudies.org . A diverse, responsible reviewer pool is the key to our conference! For those of you who are new to reviewing and/or CUFA, we are developing a reviewer guide to support you.
