Advancing Racial Literacies in Education w/ Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz - Episode 72

What role does racial literacy play in helping educators develop the capacity to respond to the inequities that plague our educational system?

To help us explore these questions, we’re joined by the phenomenally-dope Dr. Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz!!
