Events

Courageous Conversations Conference (Faculty & Staff Only)

SEPT 29

8:30AM - 4:00PM in the University Union, Chesapeake Rooms 

This conference will provide concrete strategies to open up conversations in our classrooms around race, ethnic identity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, political leanings, and immigration status.

Multicultural Brown Bag Series 

OCT 11

12:00PM - 1:15PM in CLA, Room 3150

Beating the odds: A phenomenological analysis of Black student experiences in U.S. public schools. Using critical race theory as a theoretical and analytical framework, this study examines both student engagement and school disaffection through the lens of Black student “positionality.” Participants (former Black public school students, ages 21-35) provide individual reflections of their past schooling experiences and detail critical needs in K-12 educational reform.
