Announcing Conference to Restore Humanity! 2025: Quest for Connection (July 21-23, 2025). In 2025, we’re responding to the need for community and solidarity in uncertain times by turning Conference to Restore Humanity into a model for humanizing critical discourse and dialogue: bringing together students and teachers, researchers and doers, thinkers and visionaries to explore complex topics in education and illuminate a path forward together.

advocating for social justice.
eliminating dehumanizing practices.
building spaces that value us as humans.
