In the first session of the DEHR Antiracism and Antioppression Speaker Series, Dr. Muna Saleh will draw upon her teaching and research, Chimamanda Adichie’s TED Talk “The Danger of the Single Story"; Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality; and Rudine Sims Bishop’s concept of mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors to propose ways teachers and school leaders may interrupt, disrupt, and counter racism, discrimination and violence in all their forms.
This is the first in a series of webinars that will be offered during the 2020-21 school year to provide teachers with pedagogical and leadership professional development related to Antiracism and Antioppression Education. All webinars will be recorded and will be made available as video, audio, and text files for you to access at your convenience. If you have any questions about this series, please email Dan Grassick, the ATA's Diversity, Equity and Human Rights (DEHR) lead, at dan.grassick@ata.ab.ca.
