[Coehd] Black Minds Matter - Online Public Course Oct.-Dec.

Colleagues, Some of our students may be interested in this free online course offering about Black Boys and Men in Education by J. Luke Wood, a leading scholar in higher education. The course is offered to doctoral students in San Diego State University and Dr. Wood is making the first hour free to students online. It looks like he will have other leading scholars from across the country participate in the course offering. Please share this opportunity to students in your master’s and doctoral courses. I am not sure of how SDSU/Wood will accept registrants, but advanced undergraduate students may also benefit and should be encouraged to register if interested. FYI. PS. AERA members should also consider joining the AERA Leadership for Social Justice SIG (LSJ-SIG), which forwarded this announcement. Maricela Oliva From: (AERA SIG Leadership for Social Justice Announcement List) [mailto:AERA_SIG165- Dear LSJ Members, Consider attending and sharing. BLACK MINDS MATTER This fall, Professor J. Luke Wood from San Diego State University (SDSU) will be teaching a free online "public course" titled BLACK MINDS MATTER: A Focus on Black Boys and Men in Education. Black Minds Matter addresses the experiences and realities of Black males in education, drawing parallels between the Black Lives Matter movement and the ways that Black minds are engaged in the classroom. The course will balance a discussion of issues facing Black male students as well as offer research-based strategies for improving their success. This "public course" is presented in the form of a free eight-part webinar series that is open virtually (via livestream) to anyone who would like to participate.
