Great news!
The same month Education Design Lab launches our student parent design community, we will also be talking about it on the SXSW EDU stage.
Our panel, Raising up the Voice of Postsecondary Parent Learners, has been selected for the conference in March 2025.
The Lab’s Dr. Rebecka Ramos will join Jamila Taylor (President and CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research) and Jaye Fenderson (Director/Producer, Three Frame Media) for this session, which will be moderated by Olivia Sanchez (Hechinger Report).
Hope to see you in Austin!
P.S.: Imagine our surprise when we logged into the SXSW EDU 2025 registration page and saw the huge photo above staring back at us. Pictured are a bunch of Labbies who traveled to the conference in 2024. We were there to learn and support our colleague Miriam Swords Kalk deliver her session, How to Support Learner Growth, Belonging + Agency, to a packed room.
Labbies pictured (from left to right): Leslie Daugherty, Andrea Flores, Brian Rubin, Jordan Lin, Jimmy LeDuc, Stephanie Ogilvie Seagle, Halle Hall, Carol Erickson, and Courtney Bell. Many thanks to photographer Tico Mendoza.
