Centre for Leadership & Diversity 6th Annual International Conference
Theme: Leadership for Renewal, Sustenance, and Resistance in Challenging Times
October 16, 2025 - Online
October 17 to 18, 2025 In-Person
We are living in challenging times across the globe as we witness attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, and attempts to roll back years of progress towards creating a more just and equitable world, and education systems. This shift has had devastating impact on students, educators, and communities. More than ever before, space must be created where people can come together to support, renew commitments to justice, peace and liberation, share research and ideas, collaborate and co-construct the way forward. The 2025 CLD 6th Annual Conference provides opportunities for community from different locations and disciplines to come together, engage in critical dialogue, identify actions of resistance to challenge injustices, imagine new kinds of research, and educational praxis. In the face of ongoing inequities and challenges, we must come together to forge new paths and epistemologies towards the work of educational justice. It is important to sustain this work to build and strengthen relationships as we seek to create a more just world and society.
