Conference Call for Participation
|
|
All-in: Co-Creating Knowledge for Justice
April 22-24, 2020
Santa Cruz, California
Students, Organizers, Scholars/Researchers, Foundations, Community Organizations and Research/Action Teams: Submit your ideas for workshops, posters, presentations, papers, art work or performances addressing how we build truly equitable partnerships for critical collaborative research, action and social justice.
Proposal submission deadline: January 6th, 2020
To apply, please fill out an
interest/proposal submission form
,
including a brief summary of how you or your team would like to participate/what you would like to present. The diverse programming will include invited panel discussions involving multiple perspectives and stakeholders, paper presentations, short talks, interactive workshops, performances, and art exhibits.
Sessions will be organized thematically, based on abstracts received.
Those who wish to have their work considered for a special issue of
Civic Sociology
, a new open-access journal from UC Press, should indicate their interest on the submission form and submit full drafts of papers prior to the meeting.
There is an exciting resurgence in critical public scholarship: a push for universities to reach beyond their academic audiences and build stronger partnerships with community-based organizations and others to address pressing issues, such as the affordable housing crisis, privatization and educational injustice, anti-immigrant policies, health and food insecurity, deepening economic precarity, environmental racism, and the climate crisis.
The conference brings together university scholars, community-based practitioners and researchers, undergraduate and
graduate students
, community members and organizations, foundation program officers, organizers, artists, and activists to share stories, strategies, practices, and solutions for action and the truly equitable co-production of knowledge.
Conference registration will begin in January 2020. Registration fees will be on a sliding scale, with some scholarships available and priority given to student and community member participants. Most meals during the conference will be provided. In addition to registration fees, teams and participants should plan to fund raise to cover housing and transportation.
Proposal submission deadline: January 6th, 2020.
