Click here to submit a proposal. You will be prompted to log in to Oxford Abstracts. If you do not yet have an account with Oxford Abstracts, you will need to create one.

Our Annual Conference will be held March 19-21, 2026 at the Swissôtel in Chicago. This year's conference will offer traditional paper and  poster sessions as well as “Meeting the Moment: Spotlight Policy Dialogues” which are sessions that bring together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and other policy stakeholders to address especially pressing issues facing education policy and our community.

We are also introducing Conversation Groups, a new submission type to create opportunities for members with shared interests in specific policy areas, research methods, or professional development topics to come together for informal conversation (and snacks!).

We welcome proposals that consider new perspectives, theories, and methodologies about how education policies are implemented across diverse educational contexts. Submissions will be accepted until Monday, September 29th 11:59 pm PT. Please review the call for proposals thoroughly before completing your submission
