Rouge Forum meeting in March 2008 in Louisville
The Rouge Forum Education: reform or revolution?
Bellarmine University and the University of Louisville
March 14 –March 16, 2008
The Rouge Forum is a group of educators, students, and parents seeking a democratic society. We are both research and action oriented. We want to learn about equality, democracy and social justice as we simultaneously struggle to bring into practice our present understanding of what that is. We seek to build a caring inclusive community which understands that an injury to one is an injury to all. At the same time, our caring community is going to need to deal decisively with an opposition that is sometimes ruthless.
Lectures, Panels, Academic Presentations, Student Voices, Performances, and Proposed Action will attempt to answer questions dealing with the future of public education in America, of what it should consist, what educating for democracy means and/or looks like, whether or not the system can be reformed, and/or what a revolutionized system would entail.
Please visit www.rougeforum.org for information on submitting a proposal or registering for the conference.
