, Assistant Professor, and , Associate Professor, both in the , will take part in America to Me: Real Talk Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß, the second round after a successful spring session. The event will take place on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, via Zoom from 6:30 – 9:00 pm.

The event on September 30th will set the stage for the next three-month Real Talk Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Watch Group process. The process uses the America to Me docu-series as a springboard for deepening racial literacy and to spark individual and collective action to disrupt racism. The films examine racial inequities in a Chicago suburban high school that looks and feels a lot like Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß High.

Watch Group participants engage in deep personal reflections around race and a broader understanding of systemic racial injustice using the films and other resources, like the podcast Nice White Parents, as common texts, and make connections to events in Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß and the nation. At the September 30th event, Dr. Picower and Dr. Maloney, who co-created the curriculum and who train the Watch Group Leaders, will present an overview of the Watch Group process, and an invitation to sign-up to participate as a leader or member.
