Promoting Racial Justice and Equitable Practices in our Educational Structures
Virtual Conversation about Racial Justice in our Educational Structure
Sponsored by the Department of Education and the PhD in Educational Leadership
Monday, April 8 at 7 p.m.
This event is free and open to the Springfield College community and the public.
In 2023, College Student Educators International (ACPA) developed a report, titled “Campus Racial Justice and Decolonization Expectations Project.” The concepts presented in this report are relevant for leaders across our K-12 and higher education institutions. The report states, “Racism, colonialism, and injustice are systematic in our educational structures. However, educational institutions as structures alone do not make or enforce policy—individuals do. Therefore, the work we must do at the individual level to improve ourselves will ultimately make our institutions more equitable environments.”
Join us for an engaging conversation about ACPA’s 3×3 possibility model that situates the ongoing work at the individual, group, and systems level into categories of awareness or learning, internalization or action, and sustainability or concretization.
