The Politics of Teaching Race in Higher Education
Wednesday, November 3, 2021
1:30 - 3 p.m.
Location:
John A. Delaney Student Union Ballrooms
Cost:
Free!
In recent years, conversations about race in the classroom have become increasingly politicized. From protests outside school district headquarters to heated exchanges at school board meetings, opposition to teaching about race in public schools has led several states to pass legislation banning such discussions in the K-12 classroom. In Florida, the state’s Board of Education recently banned the teaching of critical race theory, a theoretical framework that academics use to understand systemic racism in this country. Bringing together faculty from across UNF, this panel explores the effect of these debates on higher education—not only on what is taught in the college classroom, but also on the experiences of students, staff, faculty, and administrators on campus and in the larger Jacksonville community.
