Description: During this webinar, Drs. Annamma and Cioè-Peña will reflect on their experiences as teachers and teacher educators and share their research on the ways that systems of oppression such as racism, ableism and linguicism cause harm to students in schools. While they will critique the current systems, they will also engage each other in freedom dreaming about what a classroom ecology that allows all children to thrive could look like, and discuss ways that teachers can join this struggle for justice no matter their setting or stage of career.
Subini Annamma is an Associate Professor at Stanford University who examines the interdependent nature of racism and ableism and how intersectional injustice impacts education in urban schools and youth prisons.
María Cioè-Peña is a bilingual/biliterate researcher and educator who examines the intersections of disability, language, school-parent partnerships and education policy, focusing specifically on Latinx bilingual children with dis/abilities, their families and their ability to access multilingual and inclusive learning spaces within public schools.
