Even before COVID-19, education experts were sounding the alarm about the future of racialized children in our schools. And the COVID-19 pandemic has only underscored — even deepened — the divide.
In the latest episode of our podcast Don’t Call me Resilient, I speak with Kulsoom Anwer, a high school teacher from one of Toronto’s most marginalized neighbourhoods. With her is Carl James, professor of education at York University. Together we discuss the injustices and inequalities in the education system and, in the conversation, we also explore some possible ways forward.
We always publish articles that address some of the issues raised in each episode of the podcast. Today in The Conversation Canada, Tanitia Munroe of the University of Toronto offers ideas on how to curb anti-black racism in Canadian schools and Jerome Cranston of the University of Regina looks at the problems with current anti-racism training in Canadian schools.
