Here are the happiest news I've posted lately. I'm deeply honored to deliver the prestigious Edmund W. Gordon Lecture this July as part of the Reimagining Education Institute at Teachers College Columbia University. Taking place on Monday, July 16, 2018, the title of my talk is "Liberating Ways of Knowing: The Struggle for Ethnic Studies and the Educators We Need.”
I will do my best to connect the dots with all that's happening right now with Ethnic Studies and our crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Practitioners from throughout the country are attending. If you would like to attend, go to this link to register. And see you in New York!

Overview
American public schools have entered a new demographic era. Today more than half of all children enrolled in K-12 public schools are students of color. Schools, both urban and suburban, are becoming increasingly diverse. But diversity alone does not lead to integration.
To create truly integrated schools, educators need to embrace new and innovative ways to engage students and prepare them for a global society. We need to reimagine teaching and learning.
Designed for educators, policy makers, parents, and all stakeholders in K-12 schools, the Reimagining Education Summer Institute will explore the opportunities and challenges of creating and sustaining racially, ethnically and socio-economically integrated schools. The institute will feature presentations and panels, interactive workshops, and deep dialogue sessions led by curriculum and pedagogy experts from Teachers College and around the nation.
In a supportive environment of the Institute, you will connect with people from across the country and the world who are committed to integrated schools and classrooms. And you can come away with strategies and resources for implementation in your local schools and context.
