ISPRC Diversity Challenge: Race, Culture and Educating Our Youths: Developing People Not Widgets
The proposal submission deadline is April 22, 2016
The Institute for the Study and Promotion of Race and Culture (ISPRC) at Boston College is pleased to announce its 16th annual Diversity Challenge: Race, Culture and Educating Our Youths: Developing People Not Widgets. The conference will be held October 28-29, 2016.
ISPRC envisions an interdisciplinary forum in which a variety of perspectives are explored and educators, social and behavioral scientists, practitioners, and social activists can interact with each other in order to address mutual concerns related to holistic education. Finally, ISPRC welcomes critical perspectives and creative ideas that not only concern the role of race and culture in fostering resilience and resistance in the lives of students who may encounter racial or ethnic discrimination, but also the adults who are charged with nurturing them. Strongest consideration will be given to proposals that focus directly on the 2016 Diversity Challenge theme Race, Culture, and Educating Our Youths: Developing People Not Widgets.
ISPRC is now accepting proposals until April 22, 2016, please see their website for more information: http://www.bc.edu/schools/lsoe/isprc/Call_for_proposals_2016.html.
