2025 Conference

In community with one another, GAIN aims to create a space where we can all share our wisdom, learn together, and grow toward collective liberation from oppression in Higher Education. At this year’s conference, we will anchor our time together in compassion and joy while we strive to understand the dependencies between self care, healthy interpersonal relationships, and restorative practices in higher education. We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 GAIN Conference theme is: “The Power of Community: Moving Toward Collective Liberation”.

This year we are intentionally designing each aspect of our conference to foster connection and community, while challenging ourselves to rethink how we build communities. We will develop skills to help us examine and dismantle the oppressive systems at work in higher education and talk about how to effectively rebuild our spaces by designing for all people who experience systemic minoritization.
