SUMMARY:March 2 | Learning While Black | Anthony Abraham Jack and Stefan Lallinger
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 2 1pm EST Virtual Event \n\n\n\nFree event. Registration required. Sign up here. \n\n\n\nThe Spring 2021 Black Mobility and Safety in the US Lecture Series continues with the theme of Learning While Black\, and we welcome Anthony Abraham Jack and Stefan Lallinger. \n\n\n\nAnthony Abraham Jack is a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and an Assistant Professor of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He holds the Shutzer Assistant Professorship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. His research documents the overlooked diversity among lower-income undergraduates: the Doubly Disadvantaged­ — those who enter college from local\, typically distressed public high schools — and Privileged Poor­ — those who do so from boarding\, day\, and preparatory high schools. His scholarship appears in the Common Reader\, Du Bois Review\, Sociological Forum\, and Sociology of Education and has earned awards from the American Educational Studies Association\, American Sociological Association\, Association for the Study of Higher Education\, Eastern Sociological Society\, and the Society for the Study of Social Problems. His first book\, The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students (2019)\, reveals how—and why—disadvantaged students struggle at elite colleges\, and explains what schools can do differently if these students are to thrive. \n\n\n\nStefan Lallinger is a fellow at the Century Foundation and the Director of TCF’s Bridges Collaborative. He focuses on issues of racial and socioeconomic integration\, equity\, school governance\, and district-charter relationships. Dr. Lallinger previously worked as a Special Assistant to Chancellor Richard Carranza in the New York City Department of Education working on agency policy and strategy. Prior to his time in New York\, Dr. Lallinger led Langston Hughes Academy\, a Pre-K through 8th grade open-enrollment school in the Recovery School District\, in post-Katrina New Orleans\, where he served as principal\, assistant principal and teacher for nine years. Before moving to New Orleans\, he coordinated a boys mentoring program in Providence\, RI. \n\n\n\nContinuing from fall 2020\, ACT is co-presenting the series of public guest lectures that coincide with Ekene Ijeoma’s Black Mobility and Safety in the US course. Focusing on the theme of living while Black\, this semester’s topics will include: learning\, voting\, driving\, working\, and loving while Black. \n\n\n\nIn this seminar and studio\, Ijeoma will guide students to listen\, learn\, reflect and respond to issues around mobility (physical\, mental\, socio-economical\, political\, etc) and safety for Black Americans through words\, images\, and sounds that reference social science and anti-racist research. Weekly meetings will be organized around public lectures from guests ranging from designers and urban planners to activists and social scientists\, and private individual presentations for the group. \n\n\n\nPart of a two-semester course\, Black Mobility and Safety in the US is organized into two-week topics around living while Black. The first semester (Fall 2020) will include: birthing\, breathing\, sleeping\, eating\, and walking; the second: learning\, voting\, driving\, working\, and loving. By the end of each semester\, students will have the resources and tools to actively listen and respond critically to issues of Black mobility in the context of their own fields and their purposes. \n\n\n\nFree event. Registration required. Sign up here.
