Naming the Moment and Our Intervention: Four Lenses for Norm-Critical and Anti-Oppressive Education
How might schools and educators dive into this moment of numerous national and global crises to reimagine and democratize education?  In this interactive seminar, we explore four lenses or conceptual frameworks for teaching and learning toward equity and justice: naming the moment, diving into contradiction, learning through crisis, and movement building as a frame.
