A message from Michael Hayes, conference chair
It has been an honor and pleasure to serve as chairperson for our annual conference. Each year I look forward to being challenged by the provocative ideas and images that are presented, and engaging in the conversations they generate. The conference theme this year challenges us to think in unique and creative ways, and to imagine new possibilities for education and diversity in our global society. I am confident that the conference this year will continue the tradition of deep engagement and conversation that we have enjoyed.
