Members of CSSE are invited to submit proposals to CSSE’s 55th annual conference that reflect the rich array of research, teaching, learning, and scholarship in education.
This year, CSSE is using a new conference management platform called Fourwaves. If you have submitted to CSSE previously, your prior conference platform login information is no longer relevant. However, your CSSE membership account remains the same.
In anticipation of this change, our team has developed a video tutorial (embedded above) demonstrating how to submit a proposal with Fourwaves, available in both English and French. Please watch this video tutorial before submission to guide you through the steps.
Submissions are due Wednesday, October 21, 2026 (11:59 PM CST). Proposals received after this date will not be considered.

Commitment to bilingualism
As a bilingual association, CSSE is committed to showcasing the work of scholars in English, French, or the language(s) of our authors’ work and research. Multilingual research and presentations reflect the diversity of our community and our scholarship, and we hope that you take the opportunity to engage with colleagues in these spaces.
As you read this year’s program, please take special note of sessions tagged as Bilingual / Bilingue, which indicate that at least one paper in the session includes bilingual content. Bilingual content may include presentations, slides, or discussion questions in multiple languages, based on presenter comfort level and needs of each session.
