The panel will feature curriculum scholars Janet Miller, Molly Quinn, Ann G. Winfield and Reta Ugena Whitlock, who are experts renowned in the fields of educational philosophy and curriculum theory. They will discuss the implications of curriculum theory for addressing current educational issues and reform.

Whitlock, associate professor of education and gender studies coordinator at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Ga., specializes in Southern curriculum studies with a focus on the relationship between place, autobiography and teacher identity.
Quinn and Whitlock are LSU alumni. Quinn earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1987 and a Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction in 1997 from LSU. Whitlock earned her doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction in 2005.
Participants are welcome to an open house for the new LSU CTP offices, located in 121 Peabody Hall, immediately following the Curriculum Scholars Panel.
