Advancing Racial Equity in Education
1:00 pm – 1:30 pm cst
In education, equity and diversity are sometimes used interchangeably, but they have some significant differences. Diversity seeks to increase representation of historically marginalized students, faculty and administrators. However, often it doesn’t focus on correcting the central issue: racial injustice. Equity aims to fix the systemic conditions that cause the exclusion of students of color in education.
A movement for racial equity must include an excellent and equitable public education for underserved students, including students of color and those from low-income backgrounds. A racial equity movement must also include actively listening to and working together with students and communities.
Through a moderated discussion and Q&A, this chat will explore the importance of advancing racial equity in education.
