Thank you all who participated and attended CESA’s second conference, “Decolonizing Intellectual Legacies and Activist Practices.”
We were so thrilled that nearly 1100 participants gathered this past September in Chicago, IL to engage in critical conversations on the future intellectual work and activist practices. CESA sends a special thank you to the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois Chicago for hosting the conference, local and international conference organizers, and conference volunteers.
We will send an announcement when plenary sessions are available on our website. Stay tuned!

National Association for Ethnic Studies
Conference Call for Proposals–
RESEARCH AS CEREMONY: DECOLONIZING ETHNIC STUDIES
April 3-5, 2014
Oakland, California | Mills College
Ethnic Studies today is threatened by the corporatization of the university and co-option by neo- liberal, “post-racial,” “post-feminist” rhetoric. The 2014 National Association for Ethnic Studies conference seeks to restore and renew our critical purpose and commitment to self-determination, social justice and intersectional praxis. We as scholars, activists, tribal leaders, grassroots organizers, and community-based organizations see research justice as a critical, intersectional praxis that can unlock the power and knowledge of our own communities both within and outside of academia. In this spirit, we envision NAES 2014 as ceremony, an interdisciplinary space of creativity, struggle, and solidarity where academia, politics, community, arts, spirituality, and culture converge. We will convene a national Ethnic Studies Congress along with Talking Circles, Teach-Ins, and Workshops for exchange of ideas, research, and knowledge and presentations among community-based organizers, scholars, tribal leaders, youth leaders, policymakers, and others.
Proposal Submission Deadline: Abstracts will be accepted until 11:59 pm CST on December 15, 2013.
