Theme: Liberation

Our theme for 2025 is Liberation. Why should we reconsider notions of liberation, and how do we experience liberation in our lives, our spaces, and our fields?

Entrenched in history and imperative today, liberation applies to global democracy yet calls attention to individual and community freedom. It can and should transcend political affiliations to encourage understanding people and places emerging from challenges and working for a more vibrant and equitable future. Importantly, people make up the core of global democracy, and the interpretations of liberation for people and their places should lead us to rethink traditional notions of democracy on community, state, and global scales.
