Teaching Race in America: A Professional Development Conference

How do we discuss the nation’s racial past and present in our classrooms and communities?

How do we honestly examine and confront the history of race in the United States in today’s contentious environment?

How should teachers respond to those who want to exclude any discussion of systemic racism in our history, our culture, our institutions, and our economy?

On August 9, 2023, Oakland University will host a conference that brings together secondary and university educators to discuss pedagogical methods for teaching race in America. “Teaching Race in America: A Professional Development Continuing Education Conference” is a collaborative effort by high school educators and Oakland faculty.
