Session: Women's Ways of Doing - A Kaleidoscope of Best Practices in Education for Disenfranchised Populations in Chicago’s Inner-City Communities
Chicago is a confederation of neighborhoods and the boundaries that segregate its poor and disfranchised communities are drawn by color and ethnicity. Chicago also has a rich history of development and social change by means of education. For several centuries, Chicago’s varied communities of the enslaved, refugees, and immigrants have birthed movements and models that led to self-determination. The work continues. This group of Chicago women educators and CBO leaders will present an in-depth view into practices of education that are grounded in liberatory education, critical race theory, and Christian values. Set in Chicago’s Black, Latino, and Immigrant communities, several projects will be chronicled with words, music, pictures, and other artifacts to evidence and analyze the deep, engaged, and authentic learning each of the women has gained. Most importantly, discussion will be facilitated and sources and practices shared with the hope that participants of this workshop will emerge inspired, invigorated, validated, and with a few more tools in hand – so needed for doing our work “the women’s way.”
