Description

The Youth Studies Program at CUNY’s School of Professional Studies is known for having a social justice oriented approach to Youth Development; a faculty that is majority professors of color, with strong gender and sexuality diversity; and an explicit strategy to promote equity for/with our students. We also have some major blind spots. Join the director of Youth Studies Programs, an alumnus/program coordinator and a current student/professor in Disability Studies as we discuss ableism and equity. This workshop will incorporate interactive conversations, dilemmas of practice scenarios, and sample syllabi to illuminate promising practices, missteps, and course corrections.
