With many higher education faculty taking part in racial justice teach-ins this week, faculty and alumni from the CU �鶹ӰԺ School of Education are sharing a video message aimed at encouraging the nation’s scholars to explore and interrogate research and pedagogy in support of understanding anti-Blackness and its impact on scholarship. 

In solidarity of public movements led by professional sports leagues, two professors launched the #ScholarsStrike movement nationwide to challenge higher education faculty, staff and students to take a stand against violence toward Black communities and engage in teach-ins for racial justice on Sept. 8-9.

The video, “Dear Professor from Learning Scientists on Anti-Blackness,” was collectively produced by learning sciences scholars aiming to share knowledge and offer strategies for strengthening teaching with theories, research, and concrete actions to disrupt anti-Blackness. 

The message was written and created by CU �鶹ӰԺ faculty and alumni, including Arturo Cortez, José Lizárraga, A. Susan Jurow, Ben Kirshner, Elizabeth Mendoza, Christina Paguyo, Bill Penuel, Molly Shea, Kathy Schultz, Kristina Stamatis, and Kelsey Tayne.
