3:30pm-5:30pm|Rapaporte Treasure Hall, Farber Library
A reception will follow the formal program.
This event will be a celebration of the publication of The Culture Trap by Brandeis University Professor Derron Wallace.
The Culture Trap critically examines how culture is sometimes used as a justification for racism in schools, reinforcing racial, class, and gender inequalities in education. This event will be of particular interest to those dedicated to justice, racial equity, public education, and youth advocacy.
The celebration will include reflections from three distinguished scholars:
- Bianca Baldridge, Harvard Graduate School of Education
- Prudence L. Carter, Brown University
- Reuel Rogers, Northwestern University
This event is cosponsored by African and African American Studies Department, Sociology Department, and Education Program.
