“Leading When Faculty and Students Push for Justice” Webinar
12 August 2020

8:00-9:00am (Hawai'i) / 11:00am-12:00pm (Pacific) / 2:00-3:00pm (Eastern)

Education for democracy and justice requires constantly questioning, troubling, and remaking itself. Even when leaders and educational institutions are championing this work, educators, students, and other community members are unsurprisingly rising up, pushing back, organizing, advocating, resisting, and transforming, particularly in this historical moment, and in ways that build on past and ongoing social movements. As in broader society, concerns are raised in educational institutions in a range of ways and for a variety of reasons, with all of the contradictions and complexities that are inherent in activism and politics. Leaders—as well as those who are voicing concerns—may not always be clear on the concerns and the interconnections, or on how to respond in ways that advance collectively the larger vision of justice.

Facilitated by Dr. Kevin Kumashiro, this webinar presents frameworks that map out 39 types of concerns that get raised about inequity and injustice in K-12 and higher-education institutions, and 4 modes of communication about those concerns. Strategies will be shared for engaging with different forms of communication and working in solidarity to more deeply understand and productively respond to the vast range of possible concerns. This webinar is open to the public, but designed especially for educational leaders in higher education.

Registration is on a sliding scale (pay what you can), starting at $0. If you are able, please consider one of the higher amounts to support this webinar.  Registration is required (registration closes one hour before the start time) and space is limited.

Please note: Instructions for joining the webinar will be emailed to registered participants a few hours before the start time.
