Events and Workshops

Globalization, Diversity, and Education Conference

  • Date: September 14-16, 2023
  • Description: Healing the Mind/Body/Soul: Community, Activism, and Justice in Education:  This conference, which is organized and led by the Cultural Studies and Social Thought in Education program in the College of Education, is part of a legacy devoted to critical scholar-activism and the land-grant mission of Washington State University. Under this year’s conference theme, Healing the Mind/Body/Soul: Community, Activism, and Justice in Education, we continue to discuss the complexities of globalization, diversity, and inequality, but we also recognize the need to highlight practices in education that are healing, that restore connections within ourselves, amongst one another, and with nature. Healing from the wounds systems of oppression promulgate on our communities and students is critical for justice workers. We hope that this conference space will be one that helps us share stories, learn new research, strategies, and practices that can promote the holistic well-being of ourselves and our communities.
