ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
WHAT. This
interdisciplinary conference will draw together researchers with a common
interest in civic education, and
the program contains eighty panels and seventy-five informal roundtables with
almost five hundred people on the program. This research includes work on service-learning, moral education,
character education, as well as policy research and work on the civic capacity
and skills of citizens. It is inter-disciplinary and includes faculty from Education, Political Science,
Sociology, Public Policy, Psychology
and Evaluation as well as practitioners. The conference is
international because it is relevant to scholars from other countries and it
will include research from many different countries, not because the intent is
to only study civic education in an international context.
PROGRAM. Though subject to revision, the program
for the conference is available on the website (www.indiana.edu/~civiced/preliminaryprogram.rtf) The preliminary program includes a brief
overview of each paper, informal roundtable and roundtable and is available in

TRAVEL INFORMATION. The conference will take
place November 16th through 18th, 2003 at the Hotel Inter-Continental in New
Orleans,
Louisiana.
The city of New Orleans
is legendary for its lively celebrations and festive atmosphere. More than just
the French Quarter, New Orleans
has a large selection of eclectic antique stores and historic buildings, and
the city boasts some of the best Jazz and Blues in the country, with remarkable
restaurants and nightlife. And the weather in November is so pleasant!

RESERVATIONS. The Hotel Inter-Continental is
located two blocks from the French Quarter - close enough to easily walk over
and visit, but far enough so the festive nature of Bourbon Street does not impose on the hotel. The Hotel
Inter-Continental features 482 thoughtfully appointed guest rooms, 24-hour room
service, and a multilingual concierge. For more information: http://www.intercontinental.com/usa/new_orleans/hotel_newic.shtml
