Antiracism and Education
Viewpoints Discussion Series
Tuesday, June 29 | 1:00PM – 2:00PM
This ETS Viewpoints panel discussion is a response to the call to action shared by Santa J. Ono to "work to model a different kind of community — one where we embrace difference and work to build each other up while enacting values of dignity, mutual respect and justice” and is an effort to open wider conversations about racism, while encouraging people to educate themselves on anti-racism work. It is not enough to acknowledge that racism exists and that antiracism strategies are necessary but as educators and citizens we must act. This session is grounded on the three pillars that are foundational to ETS and PDCE, and are reflective of the values embedded into the University strategic plans.
This session will bring diverse voices together to share viewpoints on how antiracism can be infused into course designs, where conversations can become springboards for meaningful action. As stated on the UBC Equity and Inclusion website: “Anti-racism work is not a one-time action, but a life-long commitment.”
Panelists:
Dr. Bathseba Opini, Assistant Professor, EDST
Andratesha Fritzgerald, EdS, Director of Teaching, Learning, and Innovation for the East Cleveland (OH) City School Districts
Moderators:
Helen DeWaard, Learning Designer, ETS
