In this episode of CAA Conversations, the authors of Racism Untaught: Revealing and Unlearning Racialized Design–and hosts of the book's companion podcast—Lisa Elzey Mercer and Terresa Moses, speak with renowned designer Dr. Cheryl D. Miller. Antiracist design interventions can be difficult. Well-intentioned conversations can fuel tensions, activate racialized trauma, and lead to misunderstandings, especially in spaces not typically focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Even when progress is made, white supremacist culture can resurface. Antiracist guidelines and approaches that lay bare racialized systems of oppression and fundamentally disrupt their replication are critical. This episode of CAA Conversations makes space for a frank discussion around design equity. In addition to being an advocate for Black graphic designers, Cheryl D. Miller is also a theologian and author. She is a Cooper Hewitt National Design Awardee and AIGA Medalist and has been inducted into the One Club Hall of Fame. Lisa Elzey Mercer (she/her) is a designer, educator, and researcher, and Associate Professor of Graphic Design and Design for Responsible Innovation at the University of Illinois. Terresa Moses (she/her) is Assistant Professor of Graphic Design, and the Director of Design Justice at the University of Minnesota, and a PhD candidate in Social Justice Education at the University of Toronto.

Despite decades of calls to action, our emissions are not on a path to stave off a horrific future for our children and future generations. The BC Climate Emergency Campaign is a group of civil society organizations, anxious about the climate emergency, who are collaborating to increase the ambition of climate policy and action in BC. We are not a formal coalition, but have chosen to work together on a joint campaign. Signatories, which include the BC Humanist Association, share a belief that BC's climate plan, CleanBC, needs a profound jolt, one that would transform CleanBC into a genuine emergency plan and force the provincial government to take real action on climate change. In this webinar, BC Climate Emergency Campaign Coordinator Emiko Newman will prioritize an action-oriented, hope-filled approach that's heavy on solutions to the crisis. Presenter: Emiko Newman, BC Climate Emergency Campaign coordinator Emiko is passionate about exploring the intersections of social justice and climate justice. In 2022, she completed a master's degree in Social Justice Education and Environmental Studies at the University of Toronto, focusing on the power of eco-pedagogies for fostering a praxis of hope within environmental education. Her past work experience includes coordinating anti-racism workshops, working as a research assistant on environmental and sustainability education, and teaching piano. She joined the BC Climate Emergency campaign with the desire to work alongside others to push the government away from incremental action towards the emergency-level action demanded by the climate crisis. Emiko is also an avid field hockey player, pianist, taiko player, and (sometimes) completer of reading challenges.

In this Equity Spotlight Podcast, Equity Fellow Dr. David Hernández-Saca, along with his colleagues, will critically engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue to respond to Critical Race in Education Theorist and Teacher Educator Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings' challenge to educational stakeholders on how we should respond to the four crises in education and society: COVID-19, the California fires, violence against Black Americans, and political divisiveness.

Wayne Au, Professor in the School of Educational Studies at the University of Washington-Bothell, joins us this episode to discuss the tensions present in the practice of multicultural and social justice education in the contemporary moment.

Wayne is an editor of the leading social justice publication Rethinking Schools and has authored or edited countless books and articles, including several that we discuss in this episode.

English schools are becoming more authoritarian. In this panel discussion, a group of educators discuss the reasons for this disturbing trend, and ask: what can we do to fight back? The panel: Emily Charkin, founder of Wilderness Wood.

When we think about academic relationships, we often think of romantic partnerships between two academics. We might also think about the power relationships between, say, a supervisor and a student, or a dean and a professor. But we often don't think about our research collaborations as an important kind of relationship. That's surprising because research collaborations are, arguably, the most important relationships that you will ever have in academia.  In this episode, we talk to https://www.twitter.com/yasmeenabulaban (Dr. Yasmeen Abu-Laban), a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta and https://www.oise.utoronto.ca/sje/People/370533/Abbie_Bakan.html (Dr. Abigail Bakan), a Professor in the Department of Social Justice Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. They are research collaborators, friends, and an inspiration for those of us who are doing work that is intensely contested and political.

In this episode, Dr. Jenny Myers joins Nana and Kali to talk about online social justice teaching. She shares insights from her experiences building community and addressing challenges in online classrooms and offers practical suggestions for all educators to take up in their teaching.

How do we help students find their strengths so that they see a positive way forward? Positive youth influencer can forever change the trajectory of their students' lives for the better. Many justice engaged youth, lacked trusted adults as they began to disengage from school. In addition, some of these youth confided in negative influencers such as gangs, to help guide them through life. This contributes to the cycles of recidivism for juveniles. What does the data tell us about these youth's positive view of their futures? We have a conversation with Dana Bunnett, Director of Kids in Common (dbunnett@kidsincommon.org) , to discuss the most recent data on these topics. We also consult Abdul Duso, National Student Life Director at College Track to find out more about sense of purpose work. Abdul gives his insight on sense of purpose work with the juvenile justice student populations.

In this episode, we examine the struggles of justice engaged youth who present significant academic concerns in school. Why do so many students in the juvenile justice system possess learning disabilities? There seems to be a pattern that exists for students with learning disabilities and the juvenile justice system. Many of the students in the juvenile system are students who have dropped out of middle and high school due to a lack of appropriate supports for their learning disabilities and disengagement with curriculum materials. We have a conversation with Ron Hansen, Engineer and Juvenile Justice Commissioner to discuss these questions and so much more on Advice from the Inside Out.

How do we address both the needs of children and their incarcerated parents? How do we keep parents from recidivating? What happens to children when their parents fall back into the system? Recent studies show that approximately 5 million children (or 1 in 14) have a parent who has experienced incarceration. And the number is more staggering for 1 in 8 economically disadvantaged children and 1 in 9 African American children. These children feel both a stigma of having an incarcerated parent and they miss their parent. They need extra support to navigate their education pathways and their social emotional experiences. But, what about the incarcerated parent? What programs or services can they turn to help them become participating parents in their children's education? One place incarcerated parents can go is to the Office of Reentry Services. We have a conversation with Chad Martens the Program Manager at the Office of Reentry Services in Santa Clara County, CA. We get Chad's personal perspectives on the “one-stop-shop” approach to providing reentry services for clients on probation. And through our conversation we discuss solutions based approaches to changing the recidivism rate through supportive reentry programs.

One year to the day after George Flloyd's murder, Dr. Jamila Lyiscott discusses her book on racial justice in education: Black Appetite. White Food. Issues of Race, Voice, and Justice Within and Beyond the Classroom (Routledge, 2019) A community-engaged scholar-activist, nationally renowned speaker and spoken word artist, Assistant Professor of Social Justice Education at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and founding co-director of its new Center for Racial Justice and Youth Engaged Research, Lyiscott—who may also invite you to call her Dr. J, if you're cool—offers educators support for thinking and acting on issues of race, language, and the colonial logics that maintain white supremacy at the expense of Black wholeness through the lens of what she calls “Vision-Driven Justice.” Personal stories, scholarly citations, original poetry, choice excerpts of literature, and theoretical as well as applied analyses are written in the author's flow of American Standard English, American Black English, and Carribbean Creolized English to manifest Black Appetite. White Food. The result is a material yet breathing example of what Lyiscott (and others) call fugitive literacies: a book that evades replicating multiple facets of the white supremacy enmeshed in education systems and products. The book invites readers to reflect thoroughly and continuously, but also expects us to move beyond those realms and into action. As Lyiscott writes, “The authority to author new, more equitable social realities belongs to each of us.” Christina Bosch is an assistant professor of special education at California State University at Fresno.

After reading one of Julia's blog posts, I knew that I needed to speak with her about her work at the intersection of horses and systemic oppression, and her ideas on how to start to change the unhealthy systems that we exist in, and the foundation of much of our horse work (and how we have been taught to be). I'm so grateful to her for doing this work, exploring my many questions, and opening up about this challenging topic. Julia (she, her, hers) is a fellow traveler for those seeking healing, an advocate of love in action, and a connector of dots. She believes that meaningful relationships, where people are seen and heard in the reality of their lived experiences, are essential to healing. For 15 years, Julia has worked to advance social justice in education, therapy, and work with non-human animals. She has designed social justice curriculum for colleges and universities, taught courses, and facilitated dialogues on privilege and oppression, racism, sexism, and heterosexism. Julia is also a long-life horsewoman with 20 years of experience in the horse industry. From 4-h to classical dressage in Spain to Equine-assisted mental health- she is passionate about promoting kind, ethical horse-human relationships that truly embody socially just practices. Julia is learning from several horse trainers and animal behaviorists exploring positive-based learning/training methods and seeks to combine all of her experiences to support others in developing compassionate, safe, embodied relationships and communities that reunite us with our interconnectedness. Julia studied the psychology of colorblind racism and white identity development as an undergrad at Mount Holyoke College. She earned a Masters of Social Justice Education at UMass Amherst, where she discovered the art of dialogue facilitation across differences. She received her MSW from Smith College and currently works as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for Colors of Austin Counseling in Austin TX.  Julia is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator, a Circle of Security Parent Facilitator, a Trained Intergroup Dialogue Facilitator, a graduate of Leif Hallberg's year-long Master Class on Equine Assisted Mental Health and Equine Assisted Learning and is currently participating in a year-long Interpersonal Neurobiology course with Bonnie Badenoch.

Carter and Keri discuss the first chapter of "Is Everyone Really Equal? An Introduction to Key Concepts in Social Justice Education." About Deprogrammed Every Thursday at 10:00 Pacific (or 11:00, depending on Keri's schedule), former SJW Keri Smith joins Unsafe Space to co-host "Deprogrammed." We'll explore the philosophy, strategy, and tactics that Marxist and postmodern nihilists use to program "Social Justice Warriors," turning otherwise thoughtful, critically-minded individuals into armies of extreme leftist NPCs. Each week, we'll talk about a different aspect of "social justice" culture, drawing both from Keri's personal experience as well as current events.
