This event is a collaboration between UCR SOE's K-12 Ethnic Studies Speaker Series and the Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice (ITOC)


Professor Givens offers the term “fugitive pedagogy” to characterize African Americans’ subversive educational traditions from the slavery era through Jim Crow. Using the life of famed educator and historian Carter G. Woodson as a lens, Givens reveals an expansive world of black teachers who cultivated dreams and aspirations in generations of students, despite a world order built on black subjection. And as he will demonstrate, much of this work took place through discreet, quiet acts of resistance. Givens insists that African American educators’ pedagogical traditions were essential to the Black Freedom Movement and formed the roots of anti-racist teaching in the United States.

About SOE's K-12 Ethnic Studies Speaker Series
Ethnic Studies is the critical, interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity with a focus on the history, experiences, and perspectives of Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, Asian American, Pacific Islander and other communities of Color within and beyond the United States. The K-12 Ethnic Studies Pathway at UC Riverside's Teacher Education Program (TEP) exposes students enrolled in the English and Social Studies credential/Master's to the principles of Ethnic Studies, exploring applications to K-12 school pedagogy and curriculum. One goal, among many, is to create a pipeline of educators who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to serve as Ethnic Studies teachers across the region, state, and country. To enhance the scholarly and activist nature of the work, SOE's K-12 Ethnic Studies Speaker Series engages the School of Education and the broader community with the voices and work of critical scholars, practitioners, and community activists that enhance understanding of Ethnic Studies.
