Abstract

Education today faces many complex problems and challenges that require us not to neglect but to face in the pursuit of education. Racism and inequality have both impacted educational practices and quality for centuries. In this cross-country, cross-culture, and cross-discipline symposium, a total of seven educators, researchers, practitioners, and psychologists will imagine boldly what education spaces free of racial injustice and economic inequality could look like in the United States and in China. This global dialogue will enhance our comprehension and solution through research-informed action and to imagine, create, instigate, and be a catalyst of change.
