First-Year Seminar: Black Lives Matter and Educational Justice for Black Youth

AFRICAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES 1020

In the wake of the global uprising against racial injustice, this introductory course examines how schools in the United States can create opportunities for Black youth to thrive. We will examine the schooling experiences of Black children and youth amid pervasive anti-blackness, analyze the relevance of educational models for racial justice, and imagine radical ways that P-16 schools might dismantle white supremacy. This course is for first-year, non-transfer students only.
