The "Citizenship & Ideology in Education" mini-conference at the
University of Tulsa will bring together scholars and teachers in the
area of citizenship and education to (1) analyze the global causes and
consequences of schooling for political and cultural socialization, (2)
evaluate both local and national policies designed to regulate or
structure these processes, and (3) propose new strategies designed to
address this pressing political, social, and cultural schooling issue.
The CIIE 2005 program will consist of general paper sessions, invited
speakers, panel discussions, formal and informal discussion
opportunities, and a hands-on teaching and policymaking workshop. All
are invited to attend.
