Announcing the February 1-5, 2019 AAIE CONVERSATION New York City Marriott Marquis The 54th AAIE–New York City– CONVERSATION: February 1-5, 2020
"Diverse on Purpose, Different By Design" We learn through conversations...
If you're going to travel to New York in February 2020, with many of you from the other side of the planet, then it's the job of AAIE to make sure we hold important CONVERSATIONS. Conversations that matter.
We can see nothing more important than our theme for 2020: Diverse on Purpose: Different by Design. And to explore the essential questions for the future of our schools.
Our theme calls for us to be more than 'diverse by accident' simply by virtue of our student populations. In troubling times, with the politics of polarity gaining ground, international education is uniquely placed to embrace the power of diversity with a renewed sense of common purpose, to 'make a difference on difference'.
This year's conversation will pull together multiple threads of diversity: learning access for those who learn differently, supporting linguistic equity, building success on our different strengths, addressing key issues such as ethnic diversity in our faculties and women in leadership, socio-economic disparity and access to our schools....the things that many of us care deeply about.
It will be 'different' in other ways too. We are picking up our own successful threads from last year: more interactive conversations, more co-creation of solutions, a wider diversity of thought-leaders, more 'home-grown' talent from international education.
We believe this year's conversation will be a game-changer, a moment in time when international education takes a long hard look at itself and embraces diversity with a new intentionality. There are many calls on your time and budget. Some have more impact than others.
We need your voice in this CONVERSATION. Contribute your voice and expertise at AAIE in New York in 2020. Introducing an AAIE 2020 NYC "Un-Keynoter": Dr. Dacher Keltner
