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.

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. These sessions will occur between  4:30pm to 5:30pm Pacific Time, unless otherwise specified, beginning October 23, 2017 to December 11, 2017. During this hour, you may expect opening commentary from J. Luke Wood as well as guest lectures, speeches, and interviews with key leaders in the field. 

The "public" version of this course represents the first hour of the actual Black Minds Matter course that is offered by the College of Education at San Diego State University (SDSU). After the first hour, the course is closed off to students enrolled in SDSU Ed.D. and Joint Ph.D. programs who will be attending class in-person.
