Anti-Oppression Education

This conference welcomes proposals that take critical pedagogy in
new directions for a new generation. The goal is to build upon
past accomplishments of critical pedagogy while moving beyond its
historical limitations. This includes efforts that revisit and
re-evaluate established topics in the field or take on new areas
of contestation. Any issues related to education, labor, and
emancipation, broadly defined and from any geographical context,
are encouraged. The theoretical perspectives used to look at
these issues might include, but are not limited to, the
following:  

Critical race theory; womanism; mujerismo; queer theory;
indigenous perspectives and theory; globalization and neoliberal
counterhegemonic discourses; liberation theology; critical
environmental studies; critical transnational studies; critical
poststructural studies; critical postmodern studies; critical
postcolonial studies; critical feminist theory; critical
constructivism, etc.  

The University of Texas at El Paso, Universidad Autónoma de
Ciudad Juárez, New Mexico State University, and University of New
Mexico are pleased to announce a unique participative opportunity
for the academic community. Scholars and distinguished speakers
in the fields of critical pedagogy, education, social justice,
Latin American labor relations, and global comparative studies
will be brought together in an interactive forum. Participants
will present their own unique perspective and theories on the
limits and possibilities for liberation of policy and practice.
