Racial Justice & Equity (RJE) Talk Series presents: Qorsho Hassan: Topic Teaching While Black: Confronting Pitfalls, Embracing Radical Beliefs and Championing Equity

In this session, Teaching While Black: Confronting Pitfalls, Embracing Radical Beliefs, and Championing Equity, we will explore the unique challenges and transformative opportunities I faced in the classroom. From navigating systemic biases and microaggressions to cultivating a space for radical, justice-driven pedagogy, I will unpack the complexities of being a Black teacher committed to equity. Through personal reflections and critical dialogue, the session will highlight how Black educators can disrupt traditional educational systems, challenge oppressive structures, and foster an environment that empowers all students to thrive.
