The planning group for 2025 is moving along to assure a dynamic and inspiring 2025 conference! The dates of the conference are March 20 – 24,2025. The program plan will be similar to our past virtual conferences, with feature “plenary” sessions on Thursday, Saturday and Monday, and a great line-up of “knowledge sessions” that emerge from the abstracts submitted by nurse scholars world-wide. Each day of the program will begin at 10 a.m Eastern.

The theme for 2025 is Honoring our Past and Moving Forward – Decolonizing Nursing Knowledge.

The call for abstracts will be posted early in September, with a due date of December 1, 2024. Abstract decisions will be posted early in January, 2025, with the planning for the program details to follow early in February 2025.

The focus article for the conference will be:

Iheduru-Anderson, Kechi, & Waite, Roberta. (2024). Decolonizing nursing education: Reflecting on Paulo Freire’s pedagogy of the oppressed. Nursing Outlook, 72(4). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.outlook.2024.102183
