Conference

The CSSE Annual Conference is held in conjunction with the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The theme for the 2012 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is Crossroads: Scholarship for an Uncertain World. This bilingual conference provides an opportunity for the discussion of educational issues among educational scholars from across the nation. CSSE encourages participative sessions in various formats including themed, symposium/panel, small round table, multiple paper, single paper, and poster (featuring the use of graphic or other multimedia material).
Registration
The CSSE annual conference is held under the auspices of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The CSSE annual conference is held during the Congress. The Congress registration guide will be available from the Congress Web site in January 2012. Delegates will be able to register by mail, FAX and on-line via the Congress web site. After May 15, online and on-site registration will be available. CSSE is Society #15 within the Congress. Please note that you do not need to register for the annual conferences of CSSE’s Associations and SIGs; they are included.
All participants must register for the Congress AND the CSSE annual conference. Anyone who does not causes a loss of revenue for CSSE and is responsible for any increase in Congress registration fees. By not paying, participants only serve to withhold much needed support for the CSSE and penalize their paying colleagues with higher fees.
