How can schools, educators, and families navigate the continued politicization and tensions around teaching and talking about race, racism, diversity, and equity? As laws banning critical race theory are passed, and the rhetoric grows intense, we'll discuss what educators and families can do to make sure students are supported, learning, and prepared with the knowledge they need to understand their own histories and the diverse and global society they’ll enter.

Speakers include: Daren Graves, Associate Professor of Education and Social Work, Simmons University and Co-Chair of Professional Education program Schooling for Critical Consciousness of Racism and Racial Injustice, HGSEModerator: Uche Amaechi, Lecturer on Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
