6th International Conference on Teacher Education & Social Justice

University of illinois at Chicago (UIC)

REFRAMING RACE, GENDER, AND TEACHER-EDUCATION POLICY

DATES: DECEMBER 5-6, 2009

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 6th 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.

SPECIAL NOTE ON REGISTRATION: The Conference Organizers are pleased to announce that registration is free for the 6th International Conference on Teacher Education and Social Justice. Pre-Registration is required, and will begin after September 15th. Participants are responsible for their own transportation, lodging, and meals. Information on registration is online at the conference website.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Proposals are solicited for presentations about original research on all topics regarding teacher education and social justice. Especially encouraged are proposals on the Conference Theme of "reframing race, gender, and teacher-education policy." Proposal guidelines are online at the conference website. Proposals are due September 15th.
