LEAD: Anti-Racism Education in Higher Ed Featuring Angela Dillard and Whitney Peoples
Channel: Rackham Graduate School - University of Michigan
Date: 2021-01-28

LEAD, Leading Equity And Diversity, is a series of conversations where attendees have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of guests who lead or support DEI and social justice initiatives. Since the racial justice movements last summer, many universities are grappling with how to educate faculty, staff, and students on anti-racism. This LEAD conversation will explore some of the options and opportunities to facilitate learning that leads to a more inclusive environment. We will discuss anti-racist curricula, the possibility of mandatory professional development training, and how to engage high level administrators and tenured faculty. Featured guests will discuss lessons learned from past attempts, best practices, and strategies for moving forward.
