The International Society for
Educational biography began in the fall of 1982 and has
continued for the last 40 years. Educationists have long had an
interest in biography. The practice of illuminating pedagogical
thought and practice by including biographical accounts of
important theoreticians and practitioners goes back to at least
1847. The current focus encompasses ethnography,
autoethnography, biography, memoir, life history, oral history,
family history, testimonio, as well as letters, interviews,
bio-pics, literary texts, arts and performance, and other
popular culture products that shed light on the narratives
of/about individuals, groups, and communities. The phrasing,
“historic times,” recognizes the urgency of narrating our own
time as well as historically significant contributions and
invites conversations across boundaries of disciplines, genre,
theory, temporality, and geography about how life writing
reflects and contributes to social changes.
