Conference theme

Our theme for 2022 is Global and communal perspectives on language, educational policy and pedagogy. With social twists, political turns, and medical breakthroughs, the past few years have irrevocably altered educational research. From COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter to the technological impacts of video conferencing on children in schools, never before has research, activism, or student-oriented pedagogy applied so extensively to teaching and learning. As researchers and students, we have each uniquely and personally been impacted by events that have influenced our simultaneously globalized and hyper-localized worlds, and we want to hear about it.  

From the way children develop language and identity to federal education laws, it is fitting that the STORIES theme this year is “Global and Communal Perspectives on Language, Educational Policy and Pedagogy.” We welcome paper abstracts from all angles, perspectives, and contexts.
