44.040 - #NoMoreHashtags: Disrupting and Interrupting Systemic Racism in Teaching and Teacher Education

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The historical lynching of Black lives is inextricably tethered to the physical, spiritual and cultural apartheid subjected upon Black youth in America. As communities of color are under siege, it is important that educators, community members, and researchers reflect upon their responsibilities as change agents. In this interactive session, sponsored by the Division K Affirmative Action Committee, we will continue the conversation from last year’s dialogue about the Black Lives Matter movement and the role of teaching, teacher education and educational research. Participants will discuss how our knowledge translates to real action within communities. This session will feature a talk by best-selling author, Marc Lamont Hill, as he discusses what it means to disrupt and interrupt systemic racism.
