  • The Eighth Biennial International Interdisciplinary Conference on Race

    Race and the Freedom to Learn

    Cosponsored by the William Monroe Trotter Institute for the Study of Black Culture at UMass Boston

    Location: Monmouth University Campus

    The 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.

    In 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.

  • The Courage to Challenge Racial Injustice and Build Equity in Education: A Conversation with Ruby Bridges

    Social Justice Academy Professional Development Series Fall 2024 Series

    A Conversation with Ruby Bridges in recognition of the 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education

    Co-moderated by Vernon Smith, Ph.D., and Zaneta Rago-Craft, Ed.D.

    Co-sponsored with the Monmouth University Intercultural Center

    Ruby 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”.

    She 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.
