This year's theme — “Education in Action: Critical Thinking, Praxis, Possibilities” — challenges students to reimagine the possibilities of 21st century education through the lens of their own research. Presentations may discuss theories, models, empirical findings or practices that further the role of educational institutions in today’s society. We encourage presenters to envision their work as a critical conversation for improving the educational experiences for every student.
