Abstract

Drawing on the historical significance of collaborative efforts to advance education opportunities and possibilities, this session will bring together organizational leaders and researchers whose work focuses on boys and men of color in education. The purpose of this session is to highlight emerging research and organizational developments that both enhance and contest what we know about boys and men of color. Panelists representing a well-regarded educational organization in the San Francisco Bay Area will be in thoughtful and constructive conversation with education researchers.
