Curriculum Camp is an annual student-led international conference that brings together graduate students and faculty for meaningful dialogue around curriculum studies. Hosted by LSU’s Curriculum Theory Project (CTP) and Curriculum Theory Graduate Collaborative (CTGC), the event is designed to highlight graduate student research and foster a supportive scholarly community.
At Curriculum Camp, you’ll have the opportunity to present your work, engage in rich conversations, and connect with peers and leaders in the field. Each year features a distinguished scholar who offers both a public lecture and a mentoring session — providing rare access to thought leaders in curriculum theory.
Graduate student presentations span a wide range of topics, including curriculum theory, race, gender, culture, higher education (K–20), policy, and theoretical frameworks such as poststructuralism, feminism, queer theory, indigenous studies, and more.
Whether you're looking to share your research, gain feedback, or build lasting academic connections, Curriculum Camp is a space for you.
