Educational Theory

Educational Theory Institutes

The Educational Theory Institutes provide an opportunity for authors of a collected symposium to meet at the University of Illinois to workshop their papers and develop them in collaboration with faculty and students from Illinois. These institutes are sometimes planned and coordinated in advance; and sometimes developed through an open call for proposals.
