SEER

 

The Symposium on Experiential Education Research (SEER)

SEER provides an outlet and venue for researchers in the field of experiential education to present, share, dialogue, and further develop their research ideas.

The first SEER took place at the Association for Experiential Education's (AEE) 2001 International Conference in Charleston, West Virginia. Fittingly, it was Dr. Alan Ewert of Indiana University who conceived of and led the effort to establish that first SEER. A widely published researcher and author in the field of adventure-based education, Dr. Ewert is also known for his distinguished career in academia, three decades as an Outward Bound instructor, as holder of the Patricia and Joel Meier Outdoor Leadership Chair, past editor of the Journal of Experiential Education, and as fellow and past president of the prestigious Academy of Leisure Sciences. In providing the leadership to launch SEER, Dr. Ewert was giving back to the field that he has helped develop throughout his academic and professional career. The symposium occurs concurrently with the International AEE Conference each year and involves the presentation of research papers from leading international scholars in the field of experiential education. (To read more about the history and intent of SEER, see pages 48-49 of the 2009 SEER Book of Abstracts.)
