Bravely Confronting Racism in Higher Education is a new program that will enable participants to effectively confront issues of inequality and racism within higher education from various perspectives.
As part of the program, Dr. Hawley will participate in a panel discussion on how practitioners can start or continue their personal journeys as anti-racist leaders.
鈥淚 am honored to participate in this important and forward-thinking program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education,鈥 Dr. Hawley said. 鈥淎s institutions work on developing and implementing anti-racist policies, it鈥檚 vital that we participate in these crucial dialogues.鈥
The driving idea behind the program is that work on anti-racism is an ongoing process that should not rest on the shoulders of BIPOC (black, Indigenous and people of color) education leaders.
鈥淗aving Dr. Hawley participate in this program shows that 果冻传媒app ISD leaders can help effect change not only in our campuses, but that we are thought leaders across the nation as well,鈥 said Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde. 鈥淚 know Dr. Hawley brings her expertise and experience to support educational equity at 果冻传媒app ISD, and now higher education leaders participating in this program can learn from the expertise she brings to our district.鈥
