The Freedom to Learn, ASHE 2012

Presidential Sessions

As we prepare for this year's Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) conference, CUE salutes ASHE President and Columbia University professor Anna Neumann. We've marked our calendars for Thursday, November 15th at 5:15 PM in Mont-Royal Ballroom, when Dr. Neumann will give the 2012 presidential address. Her focus on "The Freedom to Learn," this year's conference theme, will carry forward through a strong slate of presidential sessions that are among the highlights of the three-day gathering of higher education researchers, who will convene November 15-17 in Las Vegas.

Preserving Rights of Entry: Future of Programs, Policies, and Practices for Facilitating College Access in a Looming Post Affirmative Environment is a presidential session of particular note to CUE researchers and scholars of equity in higher education. With the Supreme Court currently deliberating the future of affirmative action, this presidential session provides a timely forum for discussion. Dr. Liliana M. Garces of George Washington University and Dr. Ebony McGee of Vanderbilt are among the panelists. The session, which will take place Thursday, November 15th at 12:45pm in Condesa 4, will be moderated by Dr. Gregory Anderson, Dean of the University of Denver's Morgridge School of Education.

All three are among the scholars affiliated with the ASHE Institutes on Equity and Critical Policy Analysis, which were housed at CUE. Articles by Dr. Garces and Dr. Anderson are also featured in the October 2012 special issue of the Review of Higher Education, Critical Perspectives on Race and Equity, which was edited by Rossier School of Education Professor (RSOE) professor and CUE co-director Dr. Estela Mara Bensimon and RSOE Ph.D. student Robin Bishop.

The special issue of the Review of Higher Education is a product of the ASHE Institutes on Equity and Critical Policy Analysis, which were funded by the Ford Foundation and led by Dr. Bensimon. Dr. Neumann taught the Institute for Critical Analysis of Qualitative Data along with Columbia University professor Aaron Pallas. It was one of five institutes taught by prominent higher education researchers and policy leaders and attended by over 100 emerging scholars.
