Pennsylvania Chapter
of the National Association for Multicultural
Education
Announces 9th Annual Conference

The 2007 9th Annual PA-NAME Conference is being held
at the Pennsylvania State University Harrisburg on 
March 30 & 31, 2007. The theme of the conference is
The Journey of Multicultural America: Exploring
Multiple Migrations, Identities and Linguistic
Diversity. The keynote speaker for the conference will
be renowned Chicana poet, Dr. Carmen Taffola.

This conference will have a wide array of
presentations that focus on contemporary and
historical migration and immigration; language and
literacy; the numerous issues resulting from the 
enslavement of Africans and the genocide committed
against the indigenous population, such as public
images, miscegenation, genealogy, racial identity, and
reparations; as well as the plethora of topics related 
to educating a diverse population.

PA-NAME invites you to submit presentation proposals
for this conference. Presentations should be designed
to analyze and generate conversation addressing
various dimensions of migration, identity and 
linguistic diversity. Proposals addressing the
research and the application of concepts related to
the theme are also invited. In order to recognize the
exceptional work that students have been doing to
support multiculturalism, PA-NAME will be giving 
awards to the best student poster presentation.

The deadline for priority consideration for received
proposals is October 30, 2006. The final deadline is
November 15, 2006. Information related to the Call for 
Proposals, Student Poster Session Contest and
Conference Registration can be downloaded from
