Join NYU Cafe con Metro!
Mark your calendars for Café con Metro every first Wednesday of the month from October 2020 to June 2021 at 7:00pm!
The NYU Metro Center for Research and Equity and the Transformation of Schools invites educators from across the state to join in conversations that center the urgency for culturally responsive sustaining education (CR-SE) by stressing race, racism, social identities, power, privilege, equity, fairness, access, and socio-cultural-political-historical contexts as the work of CR-SE. We look forward to continuing to co-build a community that has committed to CR-SE and fosters a space for vulnerability, listening, and bravely challenging each other to take action.
