“Despite and Because of Difference”: Cultivating Critical Conversations for the Future of Education


What comes to mind? What inspires you? Design a conference image to support this year’s theme!

To promote the GSRC 2024, we encourage the OISE community to submit original artwork or graphic design for the conference theme, “Despite and because of Difference”: Cultivating Critical Conversations for the Future of Education, as part of a contest. The winning design will be used on the conference website, programs and banners, posters, and other promotional graphics for the conference.

Other entries will be featured as art installations during the conference.

The winner will be notified by email, announced on the OISE GSRC website and social media, credited in the Conference Abstract book, and will receive a $75 gift card of their choice, so long as it can be reliably and safely delivered online.
