The fee is $75 for faculty and $25 for students and community members, which includes all conference sessions and keynotes, onsite garage parking, breakfast and lunch, and the evening reception (with cash bar).

“The conference is an excellent opportunity to discuss, network and organize to democratize education in the U.S.,” says Derek Ford, a doctoral student in Cultural Foundations of Education who is serving as a conference director this year. “There will be a diverse range of pressing educational topics addressed from a variety of critical perspectives.”
