Events of Interest WISC Fellow Jenny Price at the Acequia Madre House   Jenny Price will be in residence at WISC for the month of March working on her book Stop Saving the Planet!: A 12-Step Guide for 21st- Century Environmentalists. Her book asks how “environment” has become a dirty word in American politics. It identifies how “save the planet!” environmentalism has too often been trickle-down environmentalism—and it calls for far more robust and equitable solutions.

14TH INTER-AMERICAN SYMPOSIUM ON ETHNOGRAPHY AND EDUCATION -March 15 deadline

This is a friendly reminder that the deadline for the 14TH INTER-AMERICAN SYMPOSIUM ON ETHNOGRAPHY AND EDUCATION is March 15.

The symposium this time will take place in both Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas. It was extremely important to have a venue on both sides of the border, in order to make sure that scholars who may not be able to come to El Paso may participate. We will have streaming of key presentations on both locations in order to facilitate participation for most of the event, even if participants cannot or decide not to cross to either side.

The co-organizers believe that more than ever it is important to create spaces to better understand the theme of this 14th symposium "Crossing Borders".

We are thrilled to have excellent keynote speakers whose work is highly influential across the Americas:
WALTER D. MIGNOLO
Duke University
MARJORIE FAULSTICH ORELLANA
University of California, Los Angeles
ANA MARIA RABELO GOMES
Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Scholars will come to discuss their work from many diverse countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Canada, Spain, and Mexico.  From Mexico, we have participants from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Navojoa, Sonora, Oaxaca, and Mexico City.


We are also featuring panels with teacher researches from the border region and Mexico!



Proposals (individual papers and panels) are due on March 15, 2017.

Visit our website to submit an abstract and for more information:

Please, share widely. Thanks!

Dear LEAD NetRoot Partners and Colleagues,

 

Now is the time to organize and mobilize your institution, business, organization, or school/class for observance of Latino Education and Advocacy Days 2017.

 

LEAD Summit VIII, our network's showcase event, is scheduled for Thursday, March 30, 2017

Here is the event website: https://coe.csusb.edu/lead-summit

LEAD Summit VIII will be webcast live from the campus of Cal State San Bernardino - Santos Manuel Student Union Event Center, which means it can be viewed via the internet, in real time, but will also be available after the fact with the on-demand function. One goes to the URL web address, and you and any of your members watch the summit from your location. Enjoy and engage in the segments, including the "red carpet" interviews.  The webcast includes "chat" functions so that you may participate by posing questions remotely, as well.

The URL / Webcast link will be posted on the event website in a few days from today.

There is no need for full video conferencing capability nor a user ID or password, and neither is a fee involved; just your collaboration to make the event as successful as possible. This reflects your institution's commitment to enriching diversity and addressing the Latino educational crisis, and see this program as an important resource. 

Many of you have participated in past years, and if so, we already may have your institution, business, organization, or school/class listed.

Check here for our viewing chapters/sites: https://coe.csusb.edu/lead-summit/summit-program/townhall-viewing-events

If you are new to the LEAD Network and you are not listed, please let us know right away, so we may include you among those who pledge to view.

You can host your event for the entire duration of the LEAD Summit 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (PST) or you can host for just one or a few of the segments. If you commit to watch any piece of the day, we will list you! Also, let us know if there are multiple sites in your local network, so we may include them all in our count. 

Take a look at our program line-up: https://coe.csusb.edu/lead-summit/summit-program

And Featured Speakers: https://coe.csusb.edu/lead-summit/featured-speakers

Begin by identifying a suitable space, and start advertising the event to your members, campus and/or community.

1)      Auditorium or large classroom

2)      T1 or High Speed Internet Connection (absolutely necessary for the streaming video).

3)      Video Projector with amplified audio

4)      Moderator, to stimulate discussion during video breaks.  Try to come up with a call to action for your local community
