CDOR Featured Speaker: Bettina L. Love
Author of We Want to Do More than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom Featured Speaker: "So You Want to Teach" Event Series Tuesday, October 27, 2020 (Online event, Details forthcoming) About We Want to Do More than Survive: Drawing on her life’s work of teaching and researching in urban schools, Dr. Bettina L. Love persuasively argues that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements. She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills, acronyms, grit labs, and character education, which Love calls the educational survival complex.
