8th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
EDUCATION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
5-7 October 2018
Honolulu, Hawai'i, U.S.A.
CONFERENCE PARTNERS
Hawai'i State Teachers Association
University of Hawai'i at Manoa, College of Education
University of Hawai'i at West O'ahu
CONFERENCE THEME
Movement Building for Equity and Justice in Education
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
What does it mean, in this historical moment, to advance equity and justice in education as a form of movement building? How shall we critically examine even as we collectively imagine and dive into the paradoxes, the presumptions, and the promises of education as a public good and a core institution in a democratic society? The 8th International Conference on Education and Social Justice offers a unique space for movement building around such questions as we highlight research and curriculum, develop innovative resources, build networks, and nurture hope. The Conference aims to draw together educators from across the United States and around the world with diverse experiences and expertise alongside shared commitments and priorities.

REMINDERS FOR PRESENTERS
Thanks again for sharing your research, scholarship, artistic work, curriculum, and/or advocacy projects on education and social justice. As you know, in order to accommodate as many presenters as possible, presentations should be limited to 10-12 minutes each. No audio/visual equipment or supplies will be provided, so presenters wishing to use A/V equipment or other materials will need to provide their own; in addition, presenters are encouraged to share research papers and other handouts electronically in order to save trees. The anticipated audience will include a diverse mix of educators, scholars, and advocates, in K-12 and higher education settings, from various disciplines and subject areas, and from across the United States and abroad, so please ensure that your presentations are accessible, inclusive, respectful, and engaging. Presenters in the “panel” sessions are encouraged to meet a few minutes before the session begins to designate a Moderator who will open the session by welcoming participants, monitor the time during each speaker's presentation, and moderate the subsequent discussion with the audience.
