Pedagogies of Community Cultural Wealth for These Urgent Times

Speaker: Dr. Tara Yosso

Prof. Yosso will offer timely insights about how a community cultural wealth lens can inform our efforts in preparing the next generation of engaged scholars at CSU East Bay. She will ask us to consider how we might continue to foster a critical historical perspective of the communities we aim to serve, and draw on the ingenuity and courage of those who have come before us in the struggle for justice.
