On October 27, 2022 The Rutgers Graduate School of Education, Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice, and School of Management and Labor Relations presented the Critical Race Theory in Education Lecture with Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings entitled “Debating What’s Debatable: Understanding the CRT/I Argument.”
Our first signature fall event of 2022 was a thought-provoking and insightful conversation on an important topic with Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, who is credited with introducing researchers and scholars in the field of education to CRT. Dr. Ladson-Billings is the Inaugural Distinguished Race and Social Justice in Education Scholar-in-Residence at Rutgers Graduate School of Education and the past president of the National Academy of Education and the American Educational Research Association (AERA).
We were near capacity with our in-person audience at Rutgers University’s Busch Campus Student Center, and had several hundred watch the livestream for this signature event!
