Request for Proposals & Conference Theme

SEEDS germinated in 2016, sprouting a community amid policy shifts that have attempted to erase or criminalize teaching about the societal and environmental injustices bound to the disciplines of science and STEM. Since then, we have grown and gathered (in person and virtually) to sharpen our political clarity and replenish one another with comradery and encouragement. We will gather together virtually October 9–12, 2026 to explore how joyful resistance and solidarity can sustain transformative and justice-centered science education.

We invite proposals for sessions (including workshops, wonderings, and scholarship incubators) that illuminate the visible and everyday ways educators and learners engage joy, solidarity, care, resistance, and rest in cultivating more hopeful and liberatory futures together.
