Event Title:
Library Salon #33
Celebrating the Occasional Paper Series 50th Issue
Description:
Across its history, Occasional Papers has been a strong voice for socially conscious education, nurturing a diversity of authors, challenging and expanding what counts as research, and authentically representing the complexities of teaching and learning. At this salon, we will enact what Occasional Papers has always done – inviting participants to join us in dreaming about a future in which we fully realize our commitment to radical openness. What should our next decade of issues look and sound like? How can we best use Occasional Papers to represent and help create classrooms of vitality, experimentation, justice and joy?
