http://antioppressiveeducation.org/2008conference.html

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW: What does it mean to prepare teachers to teach toward social justice? Across the United States and around the world, educators face many challenges. Especially troublesome are the economic, social, and political contexts that make difficult our attempts to address differences and oppressions in schools and society. Yet, in the face of these challenges, teacher educators are continuing to produce significant theories, practices, and coalitions. The 5th International Conference on Teacher Education and Social Justice will offer rare opportunities to discuss cutting-edge research, develop innovative resources, build networks, and explore possibilities for new directions in teacher preparation. The Conference draws together hundreds of educators from around the world with diverse experiences but with shared commitments and priorities.

CONFERENCE THEME: Innovative Curriculums in Teacher Education

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Proposals are solicited on all topics regarding teacher education and social justice, but especially encouraged are proposals on the conference theme. Two types of proposals are solicited: curriculum showcase and research presentation. Descriptions of the conference theme and procedures to submit a proposal are online (http://antioppressiveeducation.org/2008conference.html). Deadline for proposals: 31 March 2008.
