EDUC 163 - Centering Justice: A Speaker Series

0.5 unit(s)

Vassar College’s national reputation draws renowned scholars to its campus annually. Recent speakers like Jerusha Lamptee, Carlos Decena, Wilma King, Aisha Simmons, Claire Jean Kim and Jared Sexton provide a pedagogical and curricular opportunity available for students to reflect critically across speakers about how identity intersects with policy, coalition building, resistance movements and liberation. These speakers together present students with a unique curriculum; I propose to provide a framework, pedagogy, space and time for students to draw connections across speakers, across readings and across each their peers’ own experiences as they relate to the speakers. Colette Cann.
