AHEA Virtual Conference 2021
Call for Proposals
March 11 and 12, 2021
The Adult Higher Education Alliance (AHEA) invites you to submit a proposal for the 2021 AHEA Annual Conference, which will be held virtually on March 11 and 12, 2021.
Conference Theme
Transformational Learning
This year’s conference theme, “Transformational Learning” is based on the 2019 book in the AHEA Book Series: Transformative Learning in Healthcare and Helping Professions Education. The book presents a collection of narratives related to the “personal experiences with students, residents, and trainees in healthcare and the helping professions to offer hopeful and practical strategies for addressing burnout and fostering resilience, two recurrent themes in the literature today.”
We are looking forward to receiving your submission to virtually present at the conference. Please share this Call for Proposals with your colleagues and graduate students.
