Dr. Meredith Madden co-authors book on talking about race with schools and communities
Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Meredith Madden recently co-authored the book Rise for Racial Justice: How to Talk About Race With Schools and Communities.
Published by Teachers College Press, a leading publisher of award-wining, peer-reviewed resources for all participants in the education process since 1904, this book highlights the work of Rise for Racial Justice, an organization that launched a public racial literacy campaign in 2020 when the nation’s interest in exploring the history and present reality of anti-Black police violence was at a high. Protests following the murder of George Floyd focused the public’s attention on anti-Black racism, sparking calls for racial justice. From that, resulted demand for antiracism training to help make sense of the ongoing twin pandemics of anti-Black racism and white supremacy.
Rise for Racial Justice:How to Talk About Race With Schools and Communities makes a unique contribution to the discussion about antiracism training for schools and communities. The authors draw on the experiences of antiracism facilitators as they teach about race, racism, and racial justice and share curricula, pedagogical strategies, tools, and practices that support the learning and engagement of educators and youth learners.
Dr. Madden's co-authors include Colette N. Cann, a professor of education at the University of San Francisco, and Kimberly Williams Brown, an assistant professor of education at Vassar College.
The book can be purchased directly through Teachers College Press.
