Critical Questions in Education Conference
Since 2005, the Academy for Educational Studies has hosted an annual conference. Currently, we have adopted a twice a year conference centered on the same theme, but in geographically diverse locations. The Critical Questions in Education conference is a unique event, inviting dialogue and presentations oriented around a theme question (or related theme questions). The idea is to create an intimate environment where participants can come to think about a focused topic and perennial question related in schooling and education in contemporary society.
