[Factc] Dr. Ebony McGee: Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEM Education Stifles Innovation

[Jennifer Whetham]

My dear friends and colleagues:

I know many folks in our system attended the Gutman Library Book Talk featuring the brilliant Dr. Ebony McGee titled Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEM Education Stifles Innovation<https://www.hepg.org/hep-home/books/black,-brown,-bruised>.
I attended too, and her presentation was FANTASTIC.

I walked around thinking about what I learned from Dr. McGee all day yesterday.
I ordered her book right away.

I hope you listen to her talk, possibly order her book ...

Do you want to watch (or re-watch?) her webinar?

Peace,

Jen

PS-- I'm sending so much love to all of you this morning. I've been in that "I hit the sixth month wall" place these days, and Dr. McGee's voice, words, wisdom, and expertise gave me a new sense of energy and optimism and urgency around the SBCTC vision to lead with racial equity. Hearing the truth so powerfully expressed will do that!
