Changer les Horizons de l'Education Haitienne dans le Sihcle Prisent:
Situations Courantes, Solutions Adiquates en vue d'un Avenir Meilleur
The conference explores many of the educational issues and challenges
affecting Haitian society and the Haitian diaspora. These issues include,
but are not limited to, formal learning, education and development,
health, civic education and governance as well as the role of education
in the process of economic and political reconstruction. Effective
practices, at all levels from early childhood to post-graduate work, will
be discussed and disseminated.
The conference further calls for Haitianists and other scholars to
explore the role of education in Haitian social reconstruction and in the
process of establishing democratic governance. Especially, we welcome
papers and panel proposals that look at the broader role education plays
in Haitian society and diasporic communities. Examples might
include:
7 education and development
7 formal and informal learning environments
7 immigration and education
7 language and education
7 technical education
7 health and education
7 politics and education
7 education in the formation of identity
7 education and cultural preservation
7 education in a global political-economy
7 education in the scientific, information, and telecommunication age
7 culture, religious beliefs and their effects on the learning styles of
7 Haitians
In addition, presidential, parliamentary, and local elections are
scheduled in Haiti for the year 2000. HSA invites papers, panels,
roundtable discussions that explore the electoral process and its impact
on Haitian communities at home and abroad.
Guidelines for general participation in the conference and a proposal
submission form are attached. Please keep proposals to one-page,
excluding information on authors and presenters. To be considered,
proposals must be postmarked by April 28, 2000.
GUIDELINES FOR GENERAL PARTICIPATION
If submitting a panel proposal, you must include a title for each paper
within that panel. In addition, panels should include no more than 3
papers and a chair/discussant. Roundtable proposals should include no
more than 4 participants plus a chair/moderator.
Contact Information
When submitting any type of proposal, it is essential that the contact
information be listed for all those designated in the proposal. In
addition, it is important to list a primary contact person for
notification of acceptance or rejection of proposals for the 2000
conference. HSA will only contact the person designated as the primary

Participation Limitation
HSA tries to allow as many people to participate in the conference as
possible. Therefore, each participant is limited to one paper
presentation. However, a participant can perform two different
roles-presenting a paper and chairing a panel, or presenting a paper and
participating in a roundtable discussion.

Pre-registration will begin in the month of July. You need not be a
