CALL
The
Californian Association of Freirean Educators (CAFE), and the Paulo Freire
Institute UCLA will proudly host the 13th annual CAFE conference on April
24th and 25th at the University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA). This year’s conference
will engage the theme of “Education and Immigration”.
Throughout
the world, people are on the move.
Whether in search of opportunities for advancement, escaping conflict in
search of peace, for business, schooling, and a range of other reasons, people
are changing locations and doing so in large numbers. Politically, economically and culturally
significant, the impact of immigration is crucial in educational contexts. Shifting populations are changing the
demographic makeup of the most populous cities throughout the developed world,
and are therefore changing the makeup of the students in our schools. The
influx of persons of various linguistic, religious, and ethnic orientations
presents a direct challenge to educators at all levels, from teachers and
practitioners, to policy makers and theorists.
CAFÉ
2015 will draw from a scholarship of nationally renowned scholars and
practitioners and foster an open, collaborative and creative space to
critically analyze issues related to immigration within education in the local
and global context. The Conference will
include lectures, panels, teacher training workshops, artworks and other spaces
for participants to dialogue.
We
welcome the submission of abstract from scholars, students, educators and
activists that are engaged in research, policy and practices that educate,
shape and/or challenge issues related to immigration and education using a
social justice framework.
