Information on CASE
We are seeking papers that critically examine systems of schooling, from early childhood through K-12 to post-secondary education, and the social forces that shape the relationship between schools and society. This scholarship intersects with a variety of research areas within and outside of education, but primarily considers how the policies and practices of all levels of schooling interact with inequality of societal experiences and the politics of knowledge.
Presentation Formats and Authorship Guidelines
CASE sessions include single- or multi-authored papers, panels, symposia, posters, roundtables, art-based submissions, and themed discussions. Information on session formats and requirements can be found on the CSSE conference website: https://www.csse-scee.ca/conference-2026/. In accordance with CSSE regulations, each presenter may be the lead author on only one submission per association. This means that if you have one submission as lead author to CASE at CSSE, you cannot be the lead author on a submission to the Canadian Association of Foundations of Education (CAFE) or its other SIGs, the Canadian Philosophy of Education Society (CPES), and the Canadian History of Education Association (CHEA). You may, however, be the lead author on a submission to another association within CSSE. If you have any questions about CSSE regulations regarding authorship, please contact the Program Chairs.
Graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals and attend CASE's annual meeting. CASE is a great place to establish scholarly connections and receive feedback. CASE members are encouraged to connect graduate students at any stage of their program to CASE.
Submitting a Proposal and Peer Review
All proposals must be submitted through the central CSSE online submission system portal, available on the CSSE website, by October 8, 11:59 p.m. EST, 2025, without exception. Please see the CSSE site for links to the official call for proposals and submission instructions. Ensure you clearly indicate that you are submitting to CASE.
All proposals will undergo double-blind review by at least two reviewers.
In the interest of shared responsibility and engagement with CASE, all submitters to CASE (including graduate students) will be expected to peer review two submissions for CASE without exception and without guarantee of acceptance of their own submission. Please update your CSSE profile to indicate that you are a reviewer and include your research interests.
Decisions are normally communicated near the end of January and are final. Unless you indicate otherwise at the time of your submission, it is understood that you intend to attend the CSSE conference in person. Finally, please remember that the number of current members helps determine how many sessions CASE is allotted in the CSSE program – so be sure to renew your CASE membership soon!
Yours sincerely,
Christine Corso
