Call for Proposals: Abriendo Brecha VII

Abriendo Brecha is an annual conference at the University of Texas at Austin sponsored by DDCE and dedicated to activist scholarship; i.e. research and creative intellectual work in alignment with communities, organizations, movements and networks working for social justice.

 Abriendo Brecha VII, to be held in February 2010, calls for a renewed discussion on the meanings and practices of activist scholarship, particularly as it relates to the challenges of the present moment. Some themes for this year’s conference include: Race and Inequality throughout the Americas, Environmental Justice Movements, and The Global Economic Crisis.

Submit proposals for panel, workshop, or poster presentations by November 30. Visit the Abriendo Brecha site for more information or to complete the proposal submission form.
