ISSoTL Conference 2019 - Proposal Deadline extended
Extended Deadline: Monday, April 15 

The call for proposals for the ISSOTL19 conference has been extended to Monday, April 15 at 11:59pm.
Authors who have submitted their proposals before the original deadline of April 1 will have until April 7 to make changes to their proposals before they are assigned to reviewers. Authors who submit their proposals during the extension will have until April 15 to make changes to their proposals before they are assigned to reviewers. 

Conference Theme
The spirit of civic engagement is woven in the fabric of Atlanta. The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is an imposing presence, as are the Center for Civil and Human Rights, President Jimmy Carter’s Presidential Library and Museum, and the AIDS Quilt. At a time when we are witnessing a return of willful ignorance in the United States and even around the world, this is the ideal backdrop for engaging in powerful discussions about the role of SoTL in the world. If ignorance is the problem, thoughtful conversations about education and the role of SoTL are part of the solution.
The ISSOTL 2019 theme, SoTL Without Borders: Engaged Practices for Social Change, is inspired by Doctors without Borders, the international humanitarian collective. The metaphor of the border is a powerful catalyst for the kind of dialogues we envision. Usually thought of as a marginal position, the border is a liminal space, and it can open up possibilities.
