This event is a collaboration between UCR SOE's K-12 Ethnic Studies Speaker Series and the Institute for Teachers of Color

Young people have a vast learning ecosystem that includes learning within schools, families, neighborhoods, peer groups, and community-based educational spaces. Far too often, teaching and learning are often relegated to school-based teaching. What can be learned from understanding the fullness of young people’s networks and the spaces outside of school that supports their academic, cultural, social, and political lives? Drawing on decades of research with community-based youth workers engaging Youth of Color, this talk will offer educators a broader understanding of community-based spaces and youth work practice while offering tangible tools for bridging schools and community-based spaces. As the sociopolitical context of community-based education creates tensions within the field, this talk isn’t a romanticization of these spaces but rather an effort to reimagine how we think about community and young people’s educational futures.

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.
