The Possibilities of "Green Book" Approach to Higher Education

Wed, April 8, 3:45 to 5:15pm PDT (3:45 to 5:15pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum G

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guide for Black people during the Jim Crow era of de facto segregation. At base, the Green Book aimed to facilitate safe and dignified travel for Black people. Presenters in this session collectively theorize the possibilities of adopting a Green Book approach to higher education. In short, a Green Book approach to higher education explores how Black students and their families navigate higher education safely, successfully, and with dignity and joy. A Green Book approach highlights how Black students can maneuver around and even within anti-Black structures and spaces in higher education. In different ways, each participant will engage with the question, “What might a Green Book for higher education look like?”
