One Day Away: Proposals due 7/7 for the 13th International Conference on Education and Justice, Honolulu, Oct 12-15

Note this call for proposals is due tomorrow.

** Reminder: The priority deadline to submit your proposals is this Friday, July 7, 2023 **

13th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION AND JUSTICE
12-15 October 2023

Honolulu, Hawai’i
https://www.kevinkumashiro.com

Hosted by:
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, College of Education
University Laboratory School
Hawai‘i Scholars for Education and Social Justice (HSESJ)

The 13th International Conference on Education and Justice highlights the role of educational scholars in anti-oppressive movement building, particularly when we produce scholarship collectively and leverage it for public pedagogy. Recent and helpful examples of such collective projects are listed on my homepage — all are strategically presenting research through background briefs or media articles, testimonies or interviews, grassroots organizing, and so on with the aim of changing policy, practice, curriculum, and consciousness.

Sessions will feature projects by teams of scholars that aim to raise public awareness or influence educational policy and practice — as well as strategies to build our capacity for such interventions. Educators, scholars, leaders, advocates, and educational organizations and institutions from across the United States and around the world will convene to share works-in-progress of collective scholarship for public pedagogy, as well as to support one another in such work through critical self-reflection and constructive criticism.

The 13th Conference returns to Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and in collaboration with our partners and in solidarity with local movements for justice, we call particularly for proposals that highlight anti-oppressive education that challenges U.S. and other imperialisms locally and around the world.

** Reminder: The priority deadline to submit your proposals is this Friday, July 7, 2023 **

More information about the conference and proposal submission process is online at https://www.kevinkumashiro.com

Hope to see you there!

Teach Truth Day of Action 6/10/2023

An item that may be of interest to some readers.

Dear EDJE:

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming nationwide Day of Action that EDJE has proudly cosponsored since its inception:

Teach Truth Day of Action

Saturday, June 10, 2023

(multiple events across the country)
https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/teach-truth-day-of-action-june-10-2023/

For the past two summers, teachers rallied across the country at historic sites to speak out against anti-history education bills and to make public their pledge to teach the truth.  Lawmakers in at least 44 states have introduced legislation or pursued other measures that attempt to require educators to lie to students about the role of racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, and other forms of oppression throughout U.S. history.  These laws and restrictions have been imposed in at least 18 states.

Actions are planned for cities across the country.  Join an action, or host your own!  For a list of actions already planned, and for resources to plan your own action: https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/teach-truth-day-of-action-june-10-2023/
