Harvard Alumni for Education members meet with members and students at the 2024 Comparative International Education Society (CIES) 2024 Annual conference in Miami in mid-March. Harvard was well represented this year by our dynamic PhDs, professors, and master’s students! We meet up at Black Market. Dozens of us got to share our work and research. After years of COVID, everyone was so thrilled to meet in person.
This year’s CIES program was entitled, “The Power of Protest.” The power of protest in education is based on the public action. Novel research and programming that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion was at its core. Harvard alumni, faculty, and students presented on an array of issues, including literacy and numeracy education in Uganda; civil society partnerships to stop sexual abuse in schools in Liberia; and higher education in Georgia. Getting to share, learn, and laugh together was an incredible experience! We hope to see many more members next year!
