We are exited to announce the third annual conference of Texas' Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Development of the democratic person through research and practice is the theme of the year three conference. A major objective of the conference is to help participants develop strategies that enable them to contribute to the state of knowledge and practice in the field (development of the democratic person).

Submissions from scholars whose work incorporates purposes and themes that speak to the formation of the democratic person are welcome. The cultural view of democracy and citizenship that grounds the conference series makes room for contributions from a variety of fields (literature, science, humanities and the arts, the media, and more). We invite submissions for conference panels, presenters, and discussants. We encourage submissions that include the active participation of students.
