De-Centering Whiteness in Integrated Schools
February 7, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
What is Whiteness and how does it play out in our school communities? In what ways does the culture of Whiteness hinder or help our efforts towards diversity, equity and inclusion?
Join us on February 7 at 4:00p PST/7:00p EST as we delve into the topic of “Decentering Whiteness in Integrated Schools.” Our presenters will be Kim Feicke, former Director of the Oregon Center for Educational Equity and national consultant on race, class and gender equity, along with Manuel J. Fernandez, Founding Head of School at the Cambridge Street Upper School; Co-Founder and former Executive Director of Empowering Multicultural Initiatives. They will share their insights, problems of practice and ways of being in order to address dominant cultural norms of Whiteness and its impact on school staff, students, and families.
