Conference Keynote: “The Urgency of Now: Addressing the Critical Connections Between Equity/Social Justice Work and STEM Education”

April 25, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:45 pm

Dr. Hackman will be presenting the lunch keynote at the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity’s annual National Summit for Educational Equity.

Keynote Description: If engaging in equity work did not seem urgent before, its critical importance to our educational environments, and ultimately to the success of all of our students, is surely clear now. This talk outlines a handful of important considerations when leaning into equity and social justice work beginning with an explanation of what this work is and is not, followed by examples of how to teach about equity / social justice content in a range of settings. Of course, as we engage in this work, there is resistance and thus it is necessary to know what that resistance will look like and how to respond to it. In particular, it is valuable to understand and articulate the deep symmetries between STEM frameworks, i.e. systems thinking, and the ways we help educators and students alike comprehend the complexities of equity and social justice issues. Thus, this session will also highlight the expertise in the room and the particular areas of STEM education that are most conducive to equity and social justice linkages.

From the conference organizers: The National Summit for Educational Equity brings together leaders in educational equity to build capacity, knowledge, and skills to transform education, enrich classrooms, and improve student success. NSEE brings together the researchers and practitioners in educational equity to share best practices and build a learning community of professionals. The conference offers workshops and sessions that engage participants in learning about new research, tools, and strategies for improving policies and practices to close achievement, participation, and interest gaps.

The theme of the 2017 NSEE is Reach Greater Heights with Access, Equity, and Diversity.
