Dr. Bettina Love on educational equity and reform: Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Sponsored by the Department of Curriculum and Instruction and the Office of Teacher Education, College of Education and Human Development:
“We Want To Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom”
Dr. Love’s talk will discuss the struggles and the possibilities of committing ourselves to an abolitionist goal of educational freedom, as opposed to reform, and moving beyond what she calls the educational survival complex. Abolitionist Teaching is built on the creativity, imagination, boldness, ingenuity, and rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists to demand and fight for an educational system where all students are thriving, not simply surviving.
This event is free and open to the public in The Graduate Minneapolis Grand Ballroom. Please RSVP by Nov 6. at z.umn.edu/BettinaLoveUMN
