AHEA –Conference 2017: “Writing Our Way: Giving Voice to Adult Learning”
Orlando, Florida
March 9-10, 2017
AHEA’s call for proposals for presentations at the AHEA 2017 Annual conference is now open.
Call for Proposals is Now Closed.
At the heart of the Adult Higher Education Alliance (AHEA) is our commitment to promote creative and effective teaching and learning opportunities for adults. Central to that mission is the goal of fostering a rich exchange of ideas about theories and practices relevant to our adult students and to our own development as professionals.
The annual conference of “The Alliance” has been an important opportunity for adult higher education professionals to share resources and information, to stimulate practitioner research, to become aware of work outside our own institutions, and, above all, to share ideas and experiences that help us critically reflect on our everyday activities.
Proposals that are selected will be organized in the best spirit of adult learning:
- they will invite active participation and questioning,
- they will be interactive,
- they will enhance our work as scholars-practitioners, and
- allow for a range of ideas and points of view to be expressed.
We look forward to several days of spirited conversation among colleagues, and to new ideas and practices that will strengthen our work with our students and with each other.
