Welcome!
The overarching rationale for the LASIG is to open a space at CIES conferences for dialogue regarding Latin America’s educational experiences, achievements and challenges. Latin American educators, leaders and scholars will be able to share their research and experiences as we celebrate the accomplishment of goals and the launching of innovative projects in the region. The LA-SIG will foster historical, political, and cultural inquiry of education in Latin America.
As international and comparative educators and students, growing awareness of the interconnectedness of the region with the rest of the world enriches our understanding of Latin America and its people. This SIG will be unique to CIES because no other SIG focuses specifically on this geographical area. As part of our activities, we will organize a panel at the CIES annual conferences, maintain our SIG website, and mailing list.
LA-SIG welcomes CIES members from all walks of life and we look forward to the multiple perspectives that will be forged together in the spirit of academia and community building.
