ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Nadiyah Humber, Associate Professor at UConn School of Law, Dr. Preston Green, Professor of Educational Leadership and Law at UConn, and Dr. Leslie Williams, lecturer of Higher & Postsecondary Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, provide the context for understanding how Affirmative Action fits into a larger history of educational inequality for minoritized students. Our guests discuss how, given our current legal and political climate, there are action steps that higher education institutions can take to remove barriers that disproportionately impact racially minoritized students. With regard to anti-racist teaching, this episode provides faculty with recommendations on how to leverage classroom spaces and use critical theories in their practice. Together these strategies are meant to understand the full context of educational inequality and also drive constructive dialogue to envision more equitable pipelines and support mechanisms for minoritized scholars, staff, and faculty.
