We are accepting proposals that address the needs of future language learners and educators in Language Humanities which focuses on critical pedagogy, and proposals that develop innovative curricula to enable solidarity and resistance through a language classroom. We invite you to propose full panel sessions or individual papers which aim to explore the integration of critical pedagogy into our Modern Language programs through building EDIA (equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessible) based Instruction, Content and Assessments into our language courses.
