All-Degrees, All ELC Students Spring Symposium
Title: Everyday Action: Conversation, Community and Critique (Coordinated by Sabrina Boyer, Sharee Fowler, and Christine Nganga)

The symposium is a departmental event that hopes to foster community and scholarly dialogue across the disciplines housed under the school of education and ELC. We hope to offer a space of commonality to which all students in ELC and other departments in the School of Education can assess, critique, discuss and converse about the current state of education in North Carolina and in the United States. Additionally, we hope the symposium is a first step in creating a way to implement the myriad of ways that students in all degree programs approach education and democratic schools and that we can continue to build a bridge with each other as well as learn new ways to better educate ourselves and out students.
