Proposals for sessions at the annual Frontiers of Democracy conference<\/a> are due by March 31<\/strong>. You can propose a session<\/a> here.
 
You are also encouraged to register and purchase tickets<\/a> soon since space is limited.
 
Proposals are welcome on any topic at the \u201cfrontiers of democracy\u201d\u2014for instance, political reform, organizing and social movements, dialogue and deliberation, journalism and media, civic education from K-12 to college or community settings, nonviolent resistance, collaborative governance, social entrepreneurship, democratic theory, online forums and tools, issues such as climate change or racial justice, engaged research methods, democracy in any region of the world, and more. Many formats are welcome with a preference for interactive designs over pure presentations.
 
The last face-to-face Frontiers conference before COVID-19 drew about 140 people, of whom 30% were nonprofit staff, 25% were scholars\/researchers, 15% were educators, 5% were community-organizers, and the rest came from many fields, including the arts, philanthropy, business, and government. Most came from beyond the Boston area and a few from overseas.
 
Most proposals for 2023 are not<\/em> expected to address the special theme: religious pluralism and robust democracy in multiracial societies. That theme will mainly be a topic for two of the plenary sessions, which will be panel discussions involving Cornell William Brooks<\/a>, Brandon Thomas Crowley<\/a>, Diana Eck<\/a>, Andrew Hanauer<\/a>, Aminta Kilawan-Narine<\/a>, Eric Liu<\/a>, Cristina Moon<\/a>, Simran Jeet Singh<\/a>, Michael Wear<\/a>, and others to be named. Some conference participants may be interested in considering connections between religion and your proposed topic, but you do not<\/em> have to mention religion in your proposal.
 
The submission form<\/a> for a session requires a title and description for the conference agenda, some thoughts about your format and audience, and the contact information of confirmed collaborators.
 
This year\u2019s conference will be in-person, not hybrid. However, session organizers may propose to include remote people in their own sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time and location:<\/strong> July 13 (5 – 7 PM) to July 15 (noon) on Tufts University\u2019s Medford, MA campus near the Medford\/Tufts Station on the Boston Green Line.

Cost:<\/strong> $240 for a standard ticket with discounts for current students. This includes hors d’oeuvres<\/em> on July 13, breakfast and lunch on July 14, and breakfast and lunch on July 15. Other meals and lodgings are not provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
