As you prepare your proposals for the 2023 AERA Annual Meeting, we invite you to consider submitting your work to the Systems Thinking in Education SIG. Systems thinking is a cross-disciplinary concept that spans a diversity of issues, populations, and contexts, and, thus, can foster system-level critical analyses of research and contextualization of truth. In particular, we welcome proposals aligned with this year’s conference theme, Interrogating Consequential Education Research in Pursuit of Truth, proposals that “push traditional modes of sharing findings, themes, and insights from research in pursuit of truth with consequence.” We encourage you to submit proposals that:

• Develop careful, detailed, systematic and analytic literature reviews that interrogate educational research from a systems perspective.
• Identify essential sites for empirical research and engage dialogically with communities to leverage systemic concepts in the design and carrying out of studies. 
• Identify, forward, critique, and utilize multiple modes for communicating findings of consequential educational research that utilizes systems perspectives. 
• Create space for analysis and discussion designed to interrogate and advance methods, mechanisms, and practices that name injustice in systems-oriented research and co-construct opportunities for just educational processes and systems.

The Systems Thinking in Education SIG offers a welcoming venue for both established and emerging scholars from a diverse set of institutions and geographical regions. We give careful consideration to field, applied, and evaluation research, as well as theoretically oriented studies. We also welcome a broad range of methodologies.

*EXTENDED* The deadline for submissions is 11:59 PM, Pacific Time, on AUGUST 1, 2022.

If you have specific questions, please feel free to contact the 2023 Systems Thinking in Education SIG Program Chairs, Lok-Sze Wong, University of North Texas (Lok-Sze.Wong@unt.edu) and Linda Mayger, The College of New Jersey (maygerl@tcnj.edu).
