High-stakes testing. Racial disparities in disciplinary practices. Inequity of resource allocation. Affirmative action. These are some of the most contentious issues in education.
What we learn and how we learn it are fundamental to the success of individuals, institutions, and societies. What are the goals of education and how do ideas of race and ethnicity factor into the realization of these goals? How are ideologies and experiences of race and ethnicity crucial to the key debates and controversies within the broad field of education? These questions are central to the 12th Annual Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies. Through an examination of institutions as well as individual experiences, and by considering the historically racialized and colonial past of education, we hope to explore the relationship of race and ethnicity to education today.
Student Co-Chairs: Erin Banks ’16, Hannah Swernoff ’16, and Ryan Seed ’17
