FREE MINDS FREE PEOPLE

A National Conference on Education for Liberation

June 25 to 28, 2009

Houston, Texas

www.freemindsfreepeople.org



Proposal Deadline: January 19, 2009

Free Minds, Free People is a national conference that brings together  
teachers, high school and college students, researchers, parents and  
community-based activists/educators from across the country to build a  
movement to develop and promote Education for Liberation. One  
component of the conference is helping to develop a research agenda  
for Education for Liberation. By “Education for Liberation,” we mean a  
broad framework that encompasses an education intended to develop a  
critical social perspective and encourages people to act on that  
perspective. Critical consciousness means individual and community  
awareness of the internal and external forces that impact our daily  
lives and produce multiple forms of oppression and marginalization. We  
invite researchers and practitioners to submit ideas for panels or  
individual presentations.

Broadly, we are interested in research that provides empirical  
evidence about the effect of education for liberation, that documents  
models of education that develop socio-political consciousness while  
building strong academic skills, that assesses the state of knowledge  
in relevant fields and research that helps practitioners do their work  
with greater fidelity and impact. We are also interested in research  
conceived and conducted by practitioners and youth.
