4.7 Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching
When schools began to integrate following Brown v. Board of Education, many Black educators lost their jobs and the Art of Black Teaching became more difficult to sustain in integrated settings. Wrapped up in a deep history of critical consciousness and political engagement, some would argue that there has been an active history of criminalizing Black education, though the resilience of the Black community has preserved its rich pedagogical tradition. As part of our Equity Thought Leader podcast series, join our conversation with Dr. Jarvis R .Givens, Assistant Professor at Harvard University and author of Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching, as we unpack the rich and storied history of Black education in America.

4.6 Stories as Equity Data
When we speak of data, it is natural to envision numbers and graphs, but quantitative data only tells part of the story. And sometimes it tells the wrong story, as we bring our own biases to the interpretations. What if we used stories to deepen our understanding of quantitative data or to challenge our own assumptions about the data? What if we added this third-dimension to the numbers to balance the stories we tell ourselves about the numbers we see? Listen to Val Brown, a national leader in anti-racist education, help us unpack the power of stories as equity data.

4.5 The Humanizing Power of Stories
Narratives shape how we see and perceive the world. Both the stories we are told and the stories we tell ourselves shape how we understand who we are and where we belong in the world. In equity work, stories humanize “the other” and help us to connect on personal levels, challenging our biases and assumptions about others. Listen to Erin Jones, decorated educator and skilled trainer, as she leverages the power of her own story to bring out change and equitable outcomes for all students.
