Abstract Title: Why Is Every Conversation a Conversation About Race?
Abstract: Join the award-winning author, radio host, and three-time New York Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker, Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead as she connects the history of systemic racism to antiracist literature and connects what is happening across the country to what can and does happen in our cities and in our homes. Some of the topics that will be discussed include racism, whiteness and privilege, racial consciousness and awareness, and systemic inequality. Attendees will receive a three-tiered experience that discusses how racial consciousness and experience shapes self-conception, perceptions, learning, environment, and achievement. The talk will build awareness of race, create conditions that engender the study of how race interacts in the school process, and provide recommendations for participants to continue growth and development in their ability to lead in a racially equitable manner.
