Dear Mary
Thank you for your good question. Let me respond to everyone, because others might have similar questions.
You can find the symposium in the program of the conference I linked. Here is the link to the program: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://earli.org/SIG10-21-25*programme__;Iw!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHHGBP2kYw$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/DrNVCy8k2RtNoYxniZPU9Z?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHFMj_2uwA$ >
It is both in the "downloadable PDF file with presenter details" and described in the website as one of the invited symposia under the heading Programme.
You do not need to be paying EARLI member to register to the conference and join the symposium. When you follow the registration link, there is a chance (and link!) to do an EARLI account, which does not cost anything.
Hope this is helpful! If you or others have further questions, you can consult my personal email antti.rajala (at) helsinki.fi<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/yqr4CNx1WPSN3o4Ril92rC?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHHa3bsBEw$ > and I am happy to advise on the matter.
All best, Antti

Subject: [Xmca-l] Re-generating CHAT: Interesting symposium on July 2, at 5 pm Central European Summer Time
Dear Xmca-folks
As many of you know there has been an important initiative https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://re-generatingchat.com/__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHFqEmvQgg$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/f2tnCGZKWGfJ4wvgC12CXS?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHGkLb-HTw$ > to critically revise and invigorate cultural historical theory, sponsored among others by the Mind Culture and Activity journal.
One outcome of this project is an online invited symposium to be held as part of European Association of Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) SIG conference on July 1-3, 2020. There is still room in the conference and there is no fee for participation. There is also other interesting program in the conference, see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://earli.org/SIG10-21-25__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHGQSQgCCg$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/CrDkCKOE9MHqWLVJi2s7CQ?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHH3VEnnXw$ >
The Re-gen symposium is titled Learning from Learners: Power, Resistance and Learners' Voices in an Era of Uncertainty. See the info below. (The symposium was originally accepted in the Cultural-historical SIG of AERA 2020 conference)
Please note that the deadline for registrations is already on June 15th. If interested, you can register here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://earli.org/SIG10-21-25*practical-info__;Iw!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHEvW3NW7g$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/itGaCMjBW0f53jNlUNbNSC?domain=urldefense.com__;!!Mih3wA!T7vMpXPVnlR3Ulfp3FTpWccJEuogUyNkhe_TiOB_CNCiiOIerWqgrGIFEs_-HHHkO315mw$ >

Abstract
This symposium engages panelists and participants in the exploration and re-conceptualization of “learners’ voices” from a cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) perspective that approaches education as a struggle to overcome dominant paradigms that thwart learners’ development and agency in the face of an uncertain future. As part of a larger effort to re-generate CHAT, this symposium will articulate and elaborate the concept of "learners’ voices" as a tool for guiding students, teachers, researchers, activists, and policy-makers in re-orienting pedagogy to cultivate their critical voices, empowering learners to become agentive sociopolitical actors in charge of their own futures-in-the-making. The concept of voice has been used in educational research, design and practice for calling out and naming the hidden power relations in systems of oppression and plays a role in learner-centered approaches (Corbett & Wilson, 1995) culturally-relevant pedagogies (Ladson-Billings 1994; Lee, 2006), hybrid language education (Gutiérrez, 1999), and critical race theories and pedagogies (Mensah, 2019).
Panelists reconceptualize voice as “learners’ voices” broadly to convey agentive engagement in meaning making in the face of unequal power relations. While the panelists work in different social contexts (see presentation abstracts) all employ the concept of “learners’ voices” and explore ways of encouraging multivoicedness, speaking truth to power, and recognizing learners’ voices as an educational necessity in an uncertain global context. The structure of the symposium encourages dialogue designed to promote the collective co-construction and development of the concept of "learners’ voices" as a critical tool for expanding our understanding of teaching and learning.
