As part of our effort to support an infrastructure of collaboration between researchers, lawyers and advocates, we believe in the importance for The Civil Rights Project to conduct conferences, briefings and trainings.

Bringing Civil Rights Research to Bear on Voucher Programs: Are the Promises Realized? (Dirksen Senate Office Building Room SD-G50, from Mar 05, 2018 09:30 AM to Mar 05, 2018 11:30 AM)

There have been important efforts to expand school vouchers, and a variety of tax subsidies at the state and federal level, based on pledges to equalize opportunity and strengthen schooling for excluded groups. At this event, important new data and original research will assess these claims and provide guidelines for policy development that protect the rights of low-income students and students of color. Research findings will look at the civil rights implications of voucher programs and ask: do vouchers actually expand opportunity or undermine it?

Binational Synposium: The Students We Share/Los Estudiantes Que Compartimos (UC Casa de California, Chimalistac, Mexico City, from Sep 12, 2016 08:30 AM to Sep 13, 2016 08:30 PM)

The United States and Mexico share hundreds of thousands of students, but their educational needs too often go unmet and their potential is imperiled because of poor communication, bureaucratic challenges, language barriers and inadequate and unequal educational opportunities on both sides of the border. Educational researchers from both countries meet at a research symposium in Mexico City to examine student experiences and seek solutions that improve learning opportunities on both sides of the border.
