Our Newest Project:
Our newest project, funded by the Spencer Foundation, will be featured in a book titled Light Through a Prism: Social Justice Teaching for Refugee and Displaced Students. Together, five educators share their own and other teachers’ perspectives on advocacy, identity and social justice teaching for refugee and displaced students. These teachers all demonstrate ways of teaching and being teachers rooted in cultural affirmation, equity, relational caring, and critical love. The book will be available in 2024.
