BALEAP 2023 conference

Welcome to BALEAP 2023 - Caution! EAP under DEconstruction
Our hope with this conference is that we encourage a critical look at every aspect of EAP. We hope that the community will feel bold and brave enough to challenge the status quo, offering ideas, opinions, research, practices, and suggestions that can take the field in new directions.
We have a range of formats that afford greater participation. We hope to hear new voices, offering perspectives on how we might break with tradition and disrupt norms. We encourage you to get involved and share your visions of how the field might be dismantled and reconstructed.
