Course Detail: C_RACEPOWER - Race, Power, and Difference: A Symposium for Maine Educators

The inaugural symposium, Race, Power, and Difference, is an opportunity for Maine educators to engage in conversations about our shared democratic values and the power of education to create pathways of opportunities for everyone. We will use the lenses of race, power, and difference to incorporate different lived experiences and multiple perspectives that speaks to the ways that gender, location (rural/urban), poverty, and race impact diverse communities -African Americans, Asians, indigenous peoples, Latinos/as, recent immigrants, refugees, and ethnic and religious minorities. The symposium is for school leaders, teachers, parents, and community activists; participants will benefit from multiple workshop experiences for individuals interested in school leadership, curriculum, pedagogy, and community involvement.

The Symposium includes a keynote address, panels, and workshops about resources, networks, and strategies for teaching about inequity, institutional discrimination, and racial biases - both inside and outside of schools. This symposium presents an opportunity to engage all of our diverse communities to rethink what is essential in education. Our goal is to empower educators from our diverse communities to create change in our educational systems, and improve our democratic society through meaningful, long-term engagement.
