Call for Proposals
Theme: “DECONSTRUCTING CONTEMPORARY POST-RACIAL DISCOURSES”
In light of the ongoing challenges faced by communities of color across the globe, this conference actively confronts the notion that we are living a post-racial period. Amid conversations about the end of racism, critical race scholars in education continue to use their research, teaching, activism and community work to address the challenges disproportionately experienced by Black and Brown youth in schools and communities. We invite papers and workshop presentations that document scholarship, teaching, local activist work, and community organizing efforts aimed at transforming racist practices, policies and systems in schools and in the broader society. Submitted proposals should use Critical Race Theory, Latcrit Theory, Asiancrit and Tribalcrit or Critical Race Feminism as a framework to explore a problem in one or more of the following areas:
1) Racial Politics, Schools and Society
2) The Experiences of Faculty of Color in Higher Education
3) The Lived Experiences of Students of Color in and out of K-12 and Postsecondary Institutions
4) Doing Critical Race Praxis in Communities and Schools
5) Beyond NCLB: Educational Policy and Post-racial Rhetoric
All presentations can be conceptual, theoretical or empirical, and can be focused on local or international contexts.
