Social Inclusion and Social Justice Conference 2018
Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania
Friday, April 13, 2018
Conference THEME: “Intersectionality”

The Institute is currently seeking presenters to participate in our 2018 conference. Our inaugural conference in
2016 and subsequent conference in 2017 successfully brought together diverse communities to learn new and
exciting ways of collaborating by discussing and developing potential solutions for the pressing issues of today.
We now seek to continue our work in 2018 to further promote the concept of social inclusion and social
justice through the theme of Intersectionality by bringing attention to systematic oppression of
marginalized populations.

INSINC’s third annual conference seeks to highlight a variety of professional speakers on the topic of multi-
dimensional relationships with social, cultural, and biological classifications that interact concurrently and
contribute to social injustice, discrimination and social exclusion.

Presentation areas include: mental health; LGBTQ; race; higher education; health care; older adults; criminal
justice reform; child welfare; education; people with disabilities; mentoring young professionals entering the
social justice work force; underrepresentation in STEM/STEAM; arts and literature; and business. INSINC,
interdisciplinary in nature, seeks to advance and support activities that promote social inclusion of marginalized
populations through research, training, and development of demonstration models.

This one-day conference is held on the campus of Shippensburg University, in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
