ISLS Annual Meeting (ISLS 2024)

The theme of the ISLS 2024 Annual Meeting is “Learning as a cornerstone of healing, resilience, and community.”
This theme recognizes the continuing need for response to global crises, including especially COVID-19 but also racism, bigotry, war, climate change, and political oppression. These trends not only affect current events, but also the lives of learners and the demands placed on educational systems. We also recognize that our learning sciences community of scholars and practitioners has been touched by these crises. We acknowledge that our own learning, and that of our extended academic networks, need healing, resilience, and community as we work in our profession as agents of positive change. The ISLS 2024 Annual Meeting will be an opportunity to convene to advance our field in consideration of the theme, and the organizers sincerely hope it will also serve as an invitation to strengthen our own practices leading to human flourishing.
