College of Education Critical Dialogue
Wednesday, November 30
1:00 - 2:00 pm
Graves Hall 229
At the request of some students and faculty, the College of Education is offering this second session in a series of informal gatherings to:
- Listen to and hear how people are experiencing the post-election context;
- Think about ways we can collectively ensure that no person feels unsafe in the University community;
- Develop concrete ways to intervene when we witness acts of discrimination/hate in our classrooms and in the community;
- Discuss what pedagogies of social justice that uphold the principles of the conceptual frameworks of our College and our University would look like in this context.
