This semester, #jhusoe faculty and staff read "Disillusioned." Today, we're hosting panels with author Benjamin Herold, Bethany Smith (contributor), Sonya Douglass, Annette Anderson, and Odis Johnson, Jr. Sponsored by the Office of Diversity & Faculty Dev. & JHU Center for Safe and Healthy Schools.

If you'd told me five years ago that @jhueducation would bring together @annette3anderson Norma Day-Vines @NEqualityMatrix @profsonyadouglass and so many other brilliant scholars & educators to discuss the connections b/t #DISILLUSIONED & their work I would have lost my mind.

I'm so proud to know Bethany Smith, who four years ago trusted herself & me enough to speak her heart -- a decision that led to her authoring the Epilogue of #DISILLUSIONED, going on national book tour, and writing this 🥰 new essay for The Grade kappanonline.org/bathany-smith-…

Thrilled to join @edwriters in launching a Suburban Caucus to expand & deepen coverage of suburban schools, and grateful to Decoteau J. Irby & Dayna Muñiz of the Coalition for Educational Equity for a tremendous conversation to kick things off at EWA National Seminar in Las Vegas.

Thanks again to Benjamin Herold for coming on the pod to discuss suburbia, race, and cultural division youtu.be/-fuASV2IPDA?si…

Honored to share #DISILLUSIONED with the Coalition for Educational Equity, humbled by the work of the K-12 equity leaders in the room. The stories youve heard about the threats these educators have endured are horrifying. The stories you havent yet heard are so much worse.

After decades of exclusion, many working-class people of color are attaining the suburban dream. But the debt racked up by the wealthy residents who came before them means new arrivals are confronting decaying suburbs. jacobin.com/2024/06/americ…

An honor & pleasure to talk #DISILLUSIONED w/ the incredible students of Woodland Hills School District outside Pittsburgh. Huge thanks to librarian Kevin Mcguire and the world-class WHInteractionSeries author series he & WHHS Library have built. (Fortunately, Penn Hills is still better at hoops.)
