SUMMARY:What Does it Mean to Teach Right Now - Social Justice Academy Professional Development Series
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the current climate regarding equity in education\, the Social Justice Academy will host Cornelius Minor\, a well renowned Brooklyn-eased educator.\n\nSpring Distinguished Speaker \n\n \n\n“My job as a teacher is not to merely teach the curriculum or even to just teach the students; it is to seek to understand my kids as completely as possible so that I can purposefully bend and remix curriculum to meet them.”\n\n \n\nCornelius Minor is a Brooklyn-based educator and part-time Pokemon trainer. He works with teachers\, school leaders\, and leaders of community-based organizations to support equitable literacy reform in cities (and sometimes villages) across the globe. His latest book\, “We Got This”\, explores how the work of creating more equitable school spaces is embedded in our everyday choices—specifically in the choice to really listen to kids.\n\n \n\nMinor has been featured in Education Week\, Brooklyn Magazine\, and Teaching Tolerance magazine. He has partnered with the New York City Department of Education\, the International Literacy Association\, Scholastic\, and Lesley University’s Center for Reading Recovery & Literacy Collaborative. Minor was featured in the documentary “Out of Print”\, which made its way around the film festival circuit\, and he has been a featured speaker at conferences all over the world. He is a dedicated hip-hop fan\, and on some evenings\, you can find him online saving the universe with his PlayStation or on paper saving the realm in Dungeons & Dragons.\n\n \n\nMost recently\, along with his partner and wife\, Kass Minor\, he has established The Minor Collective\, a community-based movement designed to foster sustainable change in schools. Whether working with educators and kids in Los Angeles\, Seattle\, or New York City\, Minor uses his love for technology\, literature\, and social media to bring communities together. As a teacher\, Minor draws not only on his years teaching middle school in the Bronx and Brooklyn\, but also on time spent skateboarding\, shooting hoops\, and working with young people.\n\n \n\nThese days\, Minor is learning how to bake from his two young children\, searching for an elusive pair of Jordan IVs\, and is ritually re-reading all of the 1990s era comic books that he c

SUMMARY:The Eighth Biennial International Interdisciplinary Conference on Race
DESCRIPTION:Race and the Freedom to Learn\nCosponsored by the William Monroe Trotter Institute for the Study of Black Culture at UMass Boston \nLocation: Monmouth University Campus \nThe freedom to learn has been inextricably linked to race across time and space. From the era of enslavement in the Americas to book burning in Nazi Germany down to the present humans around the globe have demanded the freedom to learn as a fundamental human right. This right to learn is intrinsically linked to race\, gender\, sexuality\, and class -the denial of which diminishes society while threatening democracy. Denying groups and individuals the right to learn impacts everyone in society and oftentimes involves the censoring of curriculum\, arrest of educators\, and book banning or book burning. The freedom to learn has been particularly denied to marginalized communities including people of color\, women\, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. \nIn November 2024\, the International Interdisciplinary Conference on Race will focus on “Race and the Freedom to Learn” and invites papers from a range of disciplines\, including history\, anthropology\, education\, gender studies\, ethnic studies\, sociology\, and other disciplines that have grappled with this subject. We welcome individual papers or complete panels from scholars\, educators\, artists\, and activists whose work is related to race\, its intersections\, and the freedom to learn in history\, society\, and culture. We also seek papers from international scholars and offer a few travel stipends to scholars traveling from abroad to attend the conference.

SUMMARY:The Courage to Challenge Racial Injustice and Build Equity in Education: A Conversation with Ruby Bridges
DESCRIPTION:Social Justice Academy Professional Development Series Fall 2024 Series\nA Conversation with Ruby Bridges in recognition of the 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education\nCo-moderated by Vernon Smith\, Ph.D.\, and Zaneta Rago-Craft\, Ed.D. \nCo-sponsored with the Monmouth University Intercultural Center \nRuby Bridges is a civil rights icon\, activist\, author\, and speaker who at the age of 6 was the first Black student to integrate an all-white elementary school alone in Louisiana. She was born in Mississippi in 1954\, the same year the United States Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision ordering the integration of public schools. Her family later moved to New Orleans\, where on Nov. 14\, 1960\, Bridges began attending William Frantz Elementary School\, single-handedly initiating the desegregation of public education. Her walk to the front door of the school was immortalized in Norman Rockwell’s painting “The Problem We All Live With”\, in Robert Coles’ book “The Story of Ruby Bridges”\, and in the Disney movie “Ruby Bridges”. \nShe established the Ruby Bridges Foundation to provide leadership training programs that inspire youth and community leaders to embrace and value the richness of diversity. Bridges is the recipient of numerous awards\, including the NAACP Martin Luther King Award\, the Presidential Citizens Medal\, and honorary doctorate degrees from Connecticut College\, College of New Rochelle\, Columbia University Teachers College\, and Tulane University. Bridges is also the author of “Through My Eyes”\, “This Is Your Time”\, “I Am Ruby Bridges”\, and “Dear Ruby\, Hear Our Hearts”\, released in January 2024. In March 2024\, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:5th Annual MLK Distinguished Lecture in Social Justice featuring Anthony Abraham Jack\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Elite colleges are accepting diverse and disadvantaged students more than ever before—but to Anthony Jack\, access does not equal acceptance. An assistant professor at Harvard and author of The Privileged Poor\, Jack—once a low-income\, first-generation college student himself—studies how poor students are often failed by the top schools that admit them. In talks\, he details how class divides on campus create barriers to academic success—and shares what schools can do to truly level the playing field.  \nThis program is presented annually by the President’s Advisory Council for Diversity and Inclusion and will be moderated by Professor Claude Taylor.
