• In Event: Fairmont Roundtable Session Six
  In Roundtable Session: Freedom Dreaming, Freedom Teaching (Table 19)

Abstract

This project provides a practical and powerful blueprint to unrooting racism in the educational setting. We have compiled my results into an easy-to-understand guide designed to cultivate an educational experience that inspires a culture of true belonging, liberation, and justice for all.
Relying on case studies, thorough research, and deeply personal and enlightening experiences drawn from the lives of the authors themselves, Teaching for Justice and Belonging provides:
*Demonstrations of how to explore personal and collective racial identity to learn more about oneself and others
*Support for making systemic change within the spheres of influence of educators and parents
*Real testimonials and stories to guide readers on their own healthy anti-racism journeys.
