We invite you to share your knowledge and expertise by submitting a proposal to be a speaker for the NARST 99th Annual International Conference, “Joyful Transgressions and Radical Imagination in Science Education," taking place virtually on April 9, 2026 and in-person, April 19-22, 2026 at the Sheraton Grand Seattle in Seattle, WA, USA!
What could science teaching, learning and research look like in our wildest dreams? What could science teachers, learners, communities, and researchers be saying, thinking, doing, and feeling? What could be the priorities of science education?
Urgent times calls for radical actions and opportunities to collectively imagine different worlds and plot futures where we all can flourish. Uncertainty and global transitions create openings for radical world-building—moving beyond what is given, including the imaginations imposed by those in power. Could we dare to envision a world where everyone can thrive, where the flourishing of all humans and more-than-humans is the status quo? As such, it is imperative that we locate and create spaces of hope, imagination, and joy in science education—spaces where we re-envision how we can live well together on this pale blue dot that we call home.
We hope to see you virtually and/or in-person next April!
