The ESJ Conference is open to any interested faculty member, staff person, student or community member. 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.”

Together, Roychoudhury and Gardner have authored a book chapter on misdiagnosis as it relates to the hip hop community entitled “Taking back our minds: hip hop psychology’s (HHP) call for a renaissance, action, and liberatory use of psychology in education” (Peter Lang, 2012).

The full schedule is available at http://esj.syr.edu/schedule.

The conference is co-sponsored by the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, Intergroup Dialogue, Democratizing Knowledge, Beyond Compliance Coordinating Committee and Cultural Foundations of Education.
