The Connected Learning Symposium is a yearly interdisciplinary event, where students and alumni present and discuss their research and ideas regarding issues of social justice.
This symposium aims to create a space for students to learn from each other and foster connections with peers across disciplines. By participating, students and alumni contribute to a growing community of changemakers and demonstrate their critical role in shaping (new) possibilities for social justice.
The call for the 2026 symposium will be up in April 2026.
Extend your impact: The Learning for Equality Collection
Want your research to reach an even wider audience? The Learning for Equality Collection is our yearly digital publication showcasing student research tackling social inequalities.
All students are invited to submit their work to the Collection – both those who present at the symposium and those who do not.
