Welcome to an insightful conversation with Dr. Jeff Duncan-Andrade, a distinguished Professor of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University and the author of Equality or Equity: Toward a Model of Community-Responsive Education. In this engaging discussion with host Mike Palmer, Dr. Duncan-Andrade sheds light on the urgent need to revamp our educational system to prioritize the well-being of our most marginalized and traumatized students.
Dr. Duncan-Andrade shares his personal journey as a community member, parent, academic, and education practitioner in Oakland, California. The conversation delves into the historical failures of desegregation in the United States, dating back to the landmark case of Brown vs. Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas. The dialogue explores the potential of a new model of community-responsive education as a transformative approach to supporting and healing students who have been historically neglected. By focusing on the holistic development of the most disenfranchised students, we can create a positive impact on all students within the school and the broader community. It’s a compelling exploration of a fresh perspective on K-12 education that challenges conventional norms and practices.
