Bucking the Status Quo: How to Make Education More Racially Equitable
The question is not whether racism in our schools exists, but what we are going to do about it. The first step, says Osly J. Flores, an assistant professor in Education Policy, Organization & Leadership, is for education leaders to develop a race-conscious ethic.
People who have a race-conscious, caring ethic see their responsibility in recognizing the historical significance and impact of race, and the asset that comes with that. It’s not just deficit thinking about communities of color.”
Flores is coauthoring a book on race-conscious caring and ethics due out in 2025.
