Correction to Centering knowledge production: A matter of historical memory

Abstract

Levinson, Bradley A. 2023. “Centering Knowledge Production: A Matter of Historical Memory.” Anthropology & Education Quarterly 54 (3): 207–225. https://doi.org/10.1111/aeq.12473.

The 4th and 5th paragraphs of the article should have read:

Since some have wondered why the address was never published in the accustomed fashion, it remains only to give the details of how this current publication came to be. On January 27, 2017, I submitted an earlier version of the following text to then-Editors-in-Chief of Anthropology of Education Quarterly (AEQ), Sally Campbell Galman and Laura Valdiviezo. After their initial encouragement, I continued to revise the piece—with input from at least six CAE colleagues—and submitted a revised version on July 6, 2017. I was given the opportunity to resubmit a revised piece within 6 weeks, by May 20, 2018. I was neither able nor inclined to do so.

After letting it sit for more than 3 years, in the summer of 2021, I approached a member of the new CAE leadership team about whether they thought the time might be right for a reconsideration. As I explained in that initial message, I was fully prepared to publish the piece on my own website and send out a message with a link to the CAE community, for those who might care to read it. To my surprise, they gave their blessing for its reconsideration by the new editors of AEQ. Knowing that this publication may stir more polemic, I thank them for their commitment and courage. Here it is, warts and all, for posterity.
