To be considered, proposals should include:

• Title of session
• Abstract (up to 1500 characters)
• Learning Outcomes
• Outline
• Keywords

Proposals should consider how the content of the session connects to the larger DEIA/J landscape or the IDEAL conference theme, Sustainable Resistance and Restoration in Global Communities, and how the session reasonably engages adult learners. The internal review process is masked; no personal identifiable information (e.g., names, institutions, social identities) should be included in the proposal. These items will be collected separately.
