Why is it important to talk about poverty in education?  How do we do that in a way that is respectful and meaningful?Many times, discussions about education reform intentionally conflate race and class.  There are a few reasons for this, including that the federal courts have slowly closed the courthouse doors to claims of race discrimination in education.  Courts also have almost completely prohibited voluntary efforts to create racial diversity in schools.  As a result, equity proponents have been forced into a difficult position - using socioeconomic status as a proxy for race.  This often leaves educators, community members, and others thinking about poverty only in terms of race.  Our special guest, Dr. Adriane Williams, will equip listeners with the necessary tools to navigate between the overlapping worlds of race and poverty in education.
