Book Talk Part 2: Anti-Oppressive Education in "Elite" Schools
Join editors Katy Swalwell and Daniel Spikes, contributing authors, and educator activists for another 90-minute workshop examining the book Anti-Oppressive Education in "Elite" Schools: Promising Practices and Cautionary Tales From the Field. Through presentations and discussion, we explore how those who are in a position of power in schools -- especially those of privilege, both public and private -- can be educated to take active steps that reduce and disrupt oppression.
For educators, school administrators, community activists, students, and parents, this session helps us move from research to action. Participants are empowered to transfer what we learn from our time together into their own contexts in order to create equitable classrooms, schools, and communities. Sessions will be facilitated using inclusive protocols to ensure maximum collaboration and learning.
Presenting Authors:
Quentin Wheeler-Bell (Chapter 1: Combating the Pathology of Class Privilege: A Critical Education for the Elites)
Steven Lee, Stacy Smith, Christiane Cooners, Damian Jones (Chapter 10: Living Up to Our Legacy: One School's Effort to Build Momentum, Capacity, and Commitment to Social Justice)
Tania Mitchell (Chapter 7: Critical Service Learning: Moving from Transactional Experiences of Service Toward a Social Justice Praxis)
