The power of protest in education lies in the fact that it is, by definition, a public act. Protest allows people facing injustice to generate power through collective action. As a community of Comparative and International Education researchers, teachers, activists, programme developers or organisers, how might we engage with, and think generatively about, the histories, curriculum, theories and methodologies, and pedagogies that guide acts of protest? Our hope is the CIES 2024 Conference in Miami held online (March 6-7) and onsite (March 10-14) will inspire debates, dialogues, and future collective actions.
Latin America SIG
The Latin America SIG (LASIG) aims to serve as a platform for scholars, leaders, and practitioners to dialogue about Latin America’s educational practices, achievements, and challenges. We welcome papers focused research and experiences in Latin American, including historical, political, and cultural inquiry of education in the region. We also encourage comparative educators and students to submit papers in order to increase awareness of the interconnectedness of the region with the rest of the world. Ultimately, LASIG strives to support a deeper understanding of Latin America and its people.
