Due to the context of the current political climate (Stockley verdict, Charlottesville, & other racialized events), ESJ is organizing a "Teach-In" to explore how teachers can engage with issues of racial violence and justice in their classrooms as a route to radical hope and healing. We will begin with a panel during which we will discuss experiences, tensions, and strategies on race talk with students. In small-group break-out sessions, our focus will be on sharing resources and strategies on how to talk about racial issues with students at various age levels and create spaces of healing and hope during this contentious time. Educators across the lifespan are welcome to join the dialogue.

DeSmet is located 233 N. New Ballas Road. Park and enter through the Emerson Street entrance which is one block east of the New Ballas entrance. The cafeteria is down one flight of stairs, down the hall, and to the right.
