Please join us for the 11th Annual Kurth-Schai Education and Advocacy Lecture<\/strong> presented by the Educational Studies Department.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eve Tuck<\/strong> and K. Wayne Yang<\/strong> will share insights learned from a recent initiative to support early- and mid-career scholars in thinking and writing about how they theorize race and racism in their research with youth. In the William T. Grant Foundation Writing Fellows Initiative, led by Tuck and Yang, scholars came together to tell the stories of how they came to understand and write about race differently than how they were initially taught in graduate school. Often scholars need to seek out other ways to learn to theorize race and racism, away from the traditions of their disciplines. By emphasizing a storytelling approach, Tuck and Yang will share how this initiative might inspire other efforts to do meaningful and transformational research on racism with youth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
