Dear ASTE Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit proposals for the ASTE Sponsored Session at the upcoming 99th NARST Annual International Conference, titled “Joyful Transgressions and Radical Imagination in Science Education”, which will be held in-person April 19–22, 2026 (with a virtual pre-conference day on April 9) in Seattle, Washington.

This session, co-sponsored by ASTE and NARST, invites visionary contributions that bridge theory and practice to reimagine science literacy in ways that advance justice and support all learners, reflecting NARST’s core mission.

Please consider revising your ASTE conference proposals by incorporating new examples or updated data, refining your research questions or arguments, adding brief literature updates, clarifying key concepts, or improving clarity and focus to ensure your proposal offers a distinct and meaningful contribution.
