Eligibility: Students with an interest in educational politics and currently enrolled in graduate schools in the U.S. or abroad are welcome to attend as are educational researchers who earned their doctoral degrees after March 1, 2019. There is no fee to attend, but space is limited. Applicants whose research interests are not clearly tied to education politics will not be accepted.
