Education Building, WI Idea Room 159, 1000 Bascom Mall Madison, WI 53706
In the past as in the present, educational practices, policies, and spaces have been closely entwined with both patterns of domination and movements for equity and justice. This year’s conference will explore the complex and contradictory ways that education can simultaneously create, exacerbate, and undermine structures of oppression. How are schools and education linked to historical and contemporary issues in political economy, metropolitan development, the justice system, families and neighborhoods, health and well-being, foreign policy, and environmental crises? How have students, teachers, parents, and communities used education as a site and source of activism, to what ends, and with what consequences? To what extent can education serve as a tool for creating a more just world?
Lunch will be provided only for those who register by Friday, March 3rd.
We hope you're able to join us!
