AAAGSE Symposium To Focus on Racial Inequalities

April 1, 2011 - On April 22, Penn GSE's Association of African American Graduate Students in Education (AAAGSE) will host its 2nd Annual Race and Education Symposium, titled “Revolution or Reform? Educational Strategies for the 21st Century.”

The keynote speaker, Deborah Meier, is a senior scholar at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Education and a well-known education reformer, writer, and activist.

Given persistent disparities in academic performance, access, attainment, and preparation for students of color, this conference addresses persistent racial inequalities within education that influence the experiences of students as well as the professional development of emerging scholars, teachers, and other education professionals.

The conference will be held at Penn GSE, 3440 Market Street, Fifth Floor Conference Center in Philadelphia.
