Hosted by the University of Illinois-Chicago, U.S.A.

7-8 June 2008

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW: What does it mean to prepare teachers to teach toward
social justice? Across the United States and around the world, educators
face many challenges. Especially troublesome are the economic, social, and
political contexts that make difficult our attempts to address differences
and oppressions in schools and society. Yet, in the face of these
challenges, teacher educators are continuing to produce significant
theories, practices, and coalitions. The 5th International Conference on
Teacher Education and Social Justice will offer rare opportunities to
discuss cutting-edge research, develop innovative resources, build
networks, and explore possibilities for new directions in teacher
preparation. The Conference draws together hundreds of educators from
around the world with diverse experiences but with shared commitments and
priorities.

CONFERENCE THEME: Innovative Curriculums in Teacher Education

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Proposals are solicited on all topics regarding
teacher education and social justice, but especially encouraged are
