Balcones Conference Center Marble Falls, Texas DEMOCRATIZING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE: ENVISIONING, EMBODYING, ENACTING http://www.curriculumandpedagogy.org/ The Curriculum and Pedagogy community’s 8th annual conference will focus on ways in which democracy is characterized in schools and other educational contexts. When we speak of wanting to “democratize educational experience” what do we mean, and how does this meaning influence our practice?

Al-Quds University, East Jerusalem The focus of "Dialogue Under Occupation" is the ongoing exploration of dialogue and discourse in areas of the world experiencing occupation. Dialogue is intended in the sense that understanding of differing perspectives comes through dialogue. Discourse refers to the types of talk that the various stakeholders involved in occupation engage in (e.g., political discourse, media discourse, public discourse. The goal of the conference is to provide a venue to maximize the investigation and application of differing perspectives (i.e., the dialogue or discourse of the occupied, the dialogue or discourse of the occupiers, or the interaction between opposing sides), and to actively promote greater understanding of the ideologies, issues, concerns, etc. of individuals affected by occupation in its various dimensions. http://www.neiu.edu/~duo/
