Empowered Educators Series: Interrogating Our Collective Imaginations and Building New Worlds, Part 4

How might we use our individual experiences, capacity for empathy, and understanding of institutions and the arts to talk openly about race?

In this five-part series, educators from around the region come together to explore, reflect, and practice building spaces of racial justice and equity in both the classroom and community.

Building on all that we have learned, shared, and experienced together in the first three sessions of the series, we will explore how to incorporate the practices of interrogation into our classrooms and educational spaces. Newcomers are welcome.
