Thursday, October 27, 2022
5:00pm – 7:00pm
Busch Campus Student Center and via Livestream

The School of Management and Labor Relations is partnering with Rutgers Graduate School of Education and the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice to present a lecture on Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Education titled “Debating What’s Debatable: Understanding the CRT/I Argument.” The event will be held at the Busch Campus Student Center and via livestream. 

This will be a fascinating and insightful conversation on an important topic with Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, who is credited with introducing researchers and scholars in the field of education to CRT. Dr. Ladson-Billings is the Inaugural Distinguished Race and Social Justice in Education Scholar-in-Residence at Rutgers Graduate School of Education and the past president of the National Academy of Education and the American Educational Research Association (AERA). While Ladson-Billings focuses primarily on education, this lecture offers a unique opportunity to continue learning about CRT/I, a theoretical approach employed by SMLR faculty with increasing interest among doctoral students. 

Please note this event will not be recorded.
