Mi Educación es la Causa: Chicana and Chicano Pedagogy in the 21st Century
NACCS-Tejas Regional Conference and Exhibition
South Texas College Pecan Campus - McAllen, Texas
February 28 – March 1, 2008
Chicana/o scholars, NACCS Tejas membership and members of the Texas and southwest communities are invited to submit abstracts and proposals for presentation of papers, exhibits, performances or cultural productions for the NACCS Tejas Regional Conference to be held at South Texas College’s Pecan Campus in McAllen, Texas from February 28 through March 1, 2008. Deadline for submission of abstracts and proposals is January 14, 2008.
Through activism in society, the classroom and in the home, Chicanas/os have worked creatively to bring about social change in this nation. This is the historical spirit that will be celebrated and examined during the 2008 NACCS Tejas Regional Conference. It will provide a forum for participants to collectively explore la causa through the prism of Chicana/o pedagogy, envisioning new teaching strategies that address the needs of la raza in the 21st century.
The conference will take a multidisciplinary approach and so submissions from a wide range of disciplines are welcome. While the primary theme for the conference centers on Chicana/o pedagogy in the 21st century, other topics related to the Chicana/o experience will also be considered. A 100 to 250 word abstract or proposal should be submitted for consideration of suggested papers, panels, artistic exhibits or performances.
The conference also seeks exhibitors in a wide range of areas including publishers, artists, museums, archives and other vendors related to this field. There is no charge to exhibit. A formal proposal detailing the exhibition must be provided.
There is no fee to submit materials for consideration, but there is a $20 conference fee for presenters and exhibitors. The conference coordinator reserves the right to approve or deny all submissions. Send questions and submissions to conference coordinator Victor Gomez at vgomez@southtexascollege.edu or speak with him via phone at 956-566-9067.
