Let’s Talk About Teaching – Summer 2026

Imagining Learning in a Changing Academy: Equity, Ethics, and Empowerment  

June 3, 2026 | 9:00am – 4:15pm

We are pleased to invite proposals for LTAT 2026, our annual Let’s Talk About Teaching conference. This year’s theme — Imagining teaching in a changing academy: equity, ethics, and empowerment — invites educators to examine how teaching practices, pedagogical decisions, and classroom environments are evolving in response to new expectations, new learner realities, and emerging opportunities.

Menu

As the teaching landscape shifts, questions of equity, ethical pedagogical practice, and empowerment become central to how instructors design learning, support students, and make decisions in complex academic contexts. We encourage contributions that imagine new and emerging futures of teaching, foreground reflective and critical pedagogy, and consider how instructors can create learning environments that are inclusive, responsive, and ethically grounded. We welcome evidence-informed work, practical strategies, and forward-looking thinking rooted in real teaching and curriculum challenges.
