I am humbled and honored to be the newest elected chair of the Critical Issues in Curriculum and Cultural Studies SIG. Given its history and importance, I look forward to supporting its members and highlighting their scholarship. I wish we could have all been together in San Francisco, but I hope to see you in Orlando in 2021. Please review the call for the 2021 AERA Conference, including the specific call for this SIG. We hope that you will consider submitting to the CICCS SIG.

Please be sure to continually check the professional development section of our website for CFPs and links to other journals and conferences.

The SIG Leadership Team is listed below. I am beyond thrilled to be working with this group.

Program Chair: Dr. Ganiva Reyes, Miami University

Treasurer: Dr. Hollie Kulago, Penn State University

Secretary: Dr. Debbie Sonu, Hunter College, CUNY

Webmaster: Francisco Medina, The Graduate Center, CUNY

Lastly, I want to give a huge thanks to Brian Schultz and the rest of his team (Hannah Spector, Melanie Acosta, Cathryn van Kessel, Claudia Eppert, and Drew Kemp) for their leadership and work the past two years, especially these past few months with the stressful circumstances of a global pandemic.

Wishing you all health and safety,

Gabe Huddleston
