Fireside Chat: Dr. Bettina Love

Fireside Chat: Dr. Bettina Love Talks about Abolitionist Teaching

Thursday, March 24th, 12:00-1:30PM in Zankel 109

In conjunction with the Tisch Lecture, we invite students to join an informal conversation with Dr. Love.  Dr. Love will share briefly from her work - why, where, and how of abolitionist teaching and practice.  The rest of the space is for conversation as students share their own experiences and bring questions into the space.  We will focus on the practices and connections of involving ourselves with communities to embrace abolitionist strategies and fight injustice. Light refreshments will be served.

Please note that space is limited to 30 guests, so registration is required. Please use this link to register. If more than 30 participants register, names will be drawn at random.  * Final confirmations will be sent the morning of the event. *

DR. BETTINA L. LOVE is an award-winning author and the Athletic Association Endowed Professor at the University of Georgia. Her writing, research, teaching, and educational advocacy work meet at the intersection of education reform, anti-racism, carceral studies, abolition, and Black joy. The aim of her scholarship is twofold: firstly, to advance how the field of education understands and critiques the systemic and structural racism of public education within the U.S.; and secondly, to advocate for abolitionist approaches in the field of education that seek new possibilities for educational justice. In the pursuit of making her scholarship a reality, she works with activists, communities, youth, families, and school districts to build communal, civically-engaged schools rooted in the aspirations of abolitionist strategies that love and affirm Black and Brown children.
