Awards

Those submitting individual paper proposals will have an opportunity to nominate their papers for two awards: the Kipchoge Neftali Kirkland Social Justice Award and The National Technology Leadership Initiative (NTLI) Fellowship Award. The winners of both awards will be announced at the 2019 CUFA business meeting in Austin, TX.

The Kipchoge Neftali Kirkland Social Justice Award honors the legacy and memory of Kipchoge Neftali Kirkland, an inspirational educator, researcher, and spoken word artist. Dr. Kirkland strove to meet the needs of underserved and marginalized populations through his life's work and activism. The award recognizes an innovative social justice-related paper presented at the CUFA Annual Meeting that makes a distinguished and significant contribution to promoting social justice in educational research and teaching. Eligible papers should demonstrate an integrative analysis and/or make an important theoretical, methodological, or empirical contribution to scholarship in social education.

The National Technology Leadership Coalition Initiative (NTLI) Fellowship Award recognizes an exemplary paper related to technology in social studies education presented at the CUFA Annual Meeting. The award emerged from collaboration among the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education (SITE), the NTLI, and CUFA. Winners of this award also are asked to present their papers at the SITE Annual Meeting, and following editorial review, their papers are eligible for publication in the Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education Journal (www.citejournal.org), cosponsored by professional associations related to technology integration in social studies (CUFA), science (ASTE), mathematics (AMTE), English (CEE), and education in general (SITE).
