32nd Annual Conference
Cultural Awareness and Social Justice
Two Parts in Two Places:
- Virtual: Prelude to Tucson — February 18-19, 2021
- Tucson, Arizona — October 27-30, 2021
The Association has designed 2021 gatherings to accommodate the likelihood of curtailed travel early in the year and to promote the collaboration, exchange, and local immersion experiences for which the annual conference is known. February and October will feature presentations and discussion in Spanish and English and developed in collaboration with the University of Arizona College of Education.
