I and many other scholars are presenting at the wonderful and timely social justice conference organized by esteemed scholar advocate Dr. Kevin Kumashiro. Conference registration is on a sliding scale such that hopefully most can attend, your availability considering.
UT Cultural Studies in Education Professor, Dr. Noah De Lissovoy, and I are focusing our talk on what higher education faculty in Texas are doing in response to anti-CRT Bill Senate Bill 3.
Please go to this page to register. Scroll down to view the schedule in detail. The roster of presenters is impressive.

11th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
EDUCATION AND JUSTICE
17-18 September 2021
DETAILED SCHEDULE
(all times in Pacific/California Time Zone)
(updated 5 September 2021)
CONFERENCE THEME:
“Movement Building Against the Attacks on Teaching—and Toward a Vision of Justice”
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW AND INVITATION:
The 11th International Conference on Education and Justice builds on the vision, themes, analyses, and strategies of the new resource, Understanding the Attacks on Teaching: A Background Brief for Educators and Leaders. Educators, scholars, leaders, advocates, and educational organizations and institutions from across the United States and around the world are invited to present on research, resources, resistance, and reforms that counter the attacks on teaching and teachers while advancing a more just vision through curriculum, legislation and policy, teacher preparation, organizing, leadership, institutional change, reframing, and so on. All presentations should build explicitly on the “Background Brief” and facilitate consciousness raising, critical self-reflection, and collective action as we engage in movement building for justice.
SCHEDULES (all times are in Pacific Time):
All sessions will be live; the conference website will not upload recordings of or handouts from the sessions.
