The speaker for this event will be Mica Pollock, Ph.D., associate professor of education at Harvard University. In Dr. Pollock's presentation, "Professional Development: Educating Educators on Issues of Race," she will discuss findings from a new book in which 65 experts outline concrete antiracist strategies for use in the typical classroom.
