Conference Dates: February 25-27, 2010
The 6th annual Globalization, Diversity & Education Conference is an interdisciplinary conference focusing on the issues of education and social justice in a global society. We conceive of education and pedagogy broadly to include media, community action, political activism, aesthetics and myriad forms of alternative educations. The conference provides a forum for engaging in conversation on the interrelationships among cultural pedagogies, eco-pedagogies, global health, economic innovation, contemporary identity shaping, cultural sensitivity, cosmopolitanism, media literacy, social theory, and social justice. We welcome participation of researchers, educators, students, teachers, activists and community members. Proposals may address the themes of the conference from any perspective. Individual papers, panels, symposiums, film/documentary screenings, exhibitions, poster sessions, and other creative endeavors are invited.
We strongly encourage submissions in alternative and aesthetic formats. The goal of the conference organizers is to have sessions that encourage conversation among the participants and the audience.
