The theme for this year’s Colloquium is “Disrupting Educational Disparities, Segregation, and Mass Incarceration: Hidden Battle Grounds for Black Males.” The Colloquium serves as a space to share perspectives and exchange ideas concerning the global dynamics of Black males in the educational pipeline. The Colloquium also offers a diverse array of programs that are structured to elicit intellectual thought, discourse, and ideas that can be utilized to serve and improve the experiences of Black males throughout the world.
Colloquium participants are encouraged to discuss the wide range of issues which arise across the educational pipeline, from pre-kindergarten through university. Participants also share ideas and innovative practices across disciplinary fields that consider how forces such as globalization and the internationalization of education shape the experiences of Black males.

The central purpose of the Colloquium is to provide a forum where individuals can come together and analyze the experiences of Black males throughout the educational pipeline from a global perspective. Researchers, policymakers, practitioners, gender scholars, community workers, counselors, psychologists, students, and other advocates of Black males are invited to submit proposals. Proposals for manuscripts, roundtables, or posters (students only) are accepted and should shed light on how education, at all levels of the pipeline, can address current demands of global education, employment, and economic markets for Black males. Proposals that pinpoint issues from myriad perspectives and inform local solutions are encouraged.
