Digging Through the Roots: Discussions of Racial Justice Through Seminar

• In Event: Toward Transforming a Teacher Education Program: Uprooting Whiteness, Replanting Seeds of Racial Justice and Equity

Abstract

The objective of this session is to explore one College of Education’s practice described as a racial justice seminar. Faculty and students from three teacher education programs at one Midwest university gather together each semester to explore topics dedicated to understanding how race plays a role in U.S. schools. In a seminar format, pre-service teachers are guided through discussions and activities that facilitate conversations about the prominent role racism plays in our society and system of education
