We Need More Education
Hi There,
This is a very important time for education. It is time to make changes, to improve our system. We need to take action and fight against racism, discrimination, injustice.
We need to do our best to include diversity and open discussion about race and ethnicity in our classroom. We have to educate ourselves and our students on racism, violence, and discrimination.
The Faculty is a place where academics, educators, scientists, students, and everyone who wants to disrupt the education and scientific research system can share stories and thoughts.
As the editor, I would like to call all academics and non-academics to join the discussion on how we can make our classrooms, curriculum, and schools a more inclusive one. I would like you to help us lead the change and share your insights on how we can talk and educate ourselves and others about race and ethnicity. I believe that together we can lead the change. So if you want to contribute to the conversation, please join us here.

I’m A White Teacher: Navigating George Floyd & Race In the Classroom by Jessie Dumont
“In having conversations about George Floyd this week, I’m aware and have been aware that this isn’t the first and only conversation I’ve had or will have with my students about police brutality and the divide between African American students and White students in schools. So instead of giving a prescription of steps on “How to Do This”- like many other articles and news stories out there, I challenge you to ask yourself the question, Why haven’t you talked to your students about this problem earlier?, What are you afraid of?, Where do your triggers lie in misrepresenting the divide?”
We Need Education Now More Than Ever by Maria Angel Ferrero, Ph.D.
“As educators, we have the responsibility to stand against any kind of racism and take action early from our classroom. We need to change the curriculum. Is the opportunity for schools to include topics such as race and ethnicity. It is time to teach about racial violence and civic education.
We need to find innovative ways to support students and those most vulnerable that are many times left alone on the front lines of these battles.”
