The prevailing national discourse over Critical Race Theory (CRT), dealing with race as a major category in the Americana polity, and how to accurately discuss race in education has divided America. The recent wave of actions by state legislatures around the country has resulted in limitations being placed on academic freedom in teaching race and social justice. These constraints on research and intellectual activity make this webinar even more urgent and crucial. Participants in this webinar will gain a better understanding of CRT, intersectionality, and the agency of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice in society.
