Through the Fog: Towards Inclusive Anti-Racist Teaching

In this interactive lecture, Professor Tara Affolter, Education Studies, will read selections from her book, Through the Fog: Towards Inclusive Anti-Racist Teaching and invite audience members to engage in some crucial self-reflection. Resisting racism, agitating for change, and walking an inclusive anti-racist path requires commitment to unflinchingly look at one’s failures and examine silences. Drawing from over 20 years of teaching experience in the U.S., ranging from pre-kindergarten to post-graduate, Affolter’s work illustrates personal, practical, and theoretical ways for teachers to grapple with the complexities of race and racism within their own schools and communities and develop as inclusive anti-racist teachers.
