32nd Annual Conference
Cultural Awareness and Social Justice
Two Parts in Two Places:
- Virtual: A 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.

Our free virtual Prelude to Tucson will feature two guest roundtables, video and image galleries, and two days of interaction.

Annual Conference
October 27-30, 2021
October welcomes us to Tucson with a guest emphasis on Indigenous and Native Nation Initiatives, a variety of participant presentations and discussions on the conference themes, and a cultural excursion.
