EXPANDING INFORMAL SCIENCE FOR LATINOS
NEW DATES: March 26-29, 2009
Acceso Hispano/Self-Reliance Foundation is organizing a conference that has
the overarching goal of laying the groundwork for the development of
strategic partnerships for involving Latino audiences in informal science
learning,
led by informal science institutions nationwide. The conference, originally
scheduled for 2008, will be held in Albuquerque, NM, March 26-29, 2009.
(Funding for the conference has been formally awarded by the National
Science
Foundation.)
The conference will bring 100+ representatives from informal science
institutions and science research organizations together with Hispanic
organizations, media, and educational projects to review current ISE
resources, identify
needs and gaps, learn about best practices in designing culturally
effective
programs and resources, and develop new strategies and resources to enrich
the
informal science learning environment for Latinos.
Conference sessions will include presentations by ISE researchers and
program evaluators, experienced program developers, and Hispanic media and
marketing experts, which will provide a solid foundation for planning
workshops
focused around strategic issues identified by conference participants. The
conference will include: (1) an interactive blog preceding the conference
that
will begin discussions on conference issues; (2) Print resource materials
distributed at the conference, which will include abstracts of research
presented,
descriptions of model programs, a directory and contact information for
conference presenters and participants, and other useful resources; (3) a
status
report from the conference including conference proceedings,
recommendations,
and action plans; and (4) Web-based information and resources, presented in
a
wiki that will enable the resource base to grow. The conference builds on
project partnerships Acceso Hispano has developed through its NSF-funded
Celebra la Ciencia and ConCiencia/Hispanic Science Newswire projects, as
well as
the strong interest of additional organizations contacted about the
conference.
Further information, including scholarship applications, can be found at:
celebralaciencia.org. Registration will be available soon.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling. Please
contact me directly if you need any additional information.
