Keynote Address Details

Title: “Hope and Humanity in Uncertain Times: Leveraging Transformative Higher Education Research for a ‘Glocal’ Citizenry”

Description: Despite the rapid and tumultuous shocks that are currently impacting higher education, it is imperative that higher education researchers stay the course and engage in research that promotes justice and equality for all. Our research must not only be relevant but be understood as essential for the development of an educated, glocal citizenry. This talk urges us to seize this moment and create opportunities to reimagine higher education research in ways that truly advance our society towards expanded access and liberation.

We encourage you to attend and share this event with students, faculty, and staff.
