E4: "What am I?"
Schools will not be the same in the upcoming academic year. So much might be on the line because of the pandemic and the ongoing anti-racist protests which have taken over the country. So, what can education do in the era of Black Lives Matter? To explore this question, this episode looks at elementary schools. One of our guides in this journey will be Mary Kokinda, an educator based in Western New York. What racial ideas do students encounter in routine tests they take at schools? How do parents react to students’ engagement with the topics of race and ethnicity? How is America’s changing demographic landscape shifting teachers’ labor? These are some of the questions you will encounter in this episode.
