Gloria Ladson-Billings, assistant vice chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is the guest lecturer for the College of Education’s inaugural Distinguished Educational Research Lecture Series on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 10 a.m. in Forum Hall.
The title of her presentation is “Through a Glass Darkly: The Persistence of Race in Education Research & Scholarship.” Ladson-Billings is a pedagogical theorist and teacher educator. She is a renowned author and lecturer on the topics of critical race theory, social justice and education research.
The faculty is thrilled to have a scholar of her caliber as the series’ first lecturer.
I cannot wait for Dr. Ladson-Billings to meet with graduate students in the afternoon. I am such a fan of her work.
