Inclusion: The New Normal
In a session on diversity in journalism, Associate Professor Sharon Bramlett-Solomon emphasized the social responsibility of journalism: to be a watch dog of society.
How diversity is expressed in our classrooms may vary depending on our communities. The question we must ask ourselves is if our staff and product is representative of that community?

So glad to see this video, Pam. I was sorry to miss this session, in large part because I love watching Sharon in action.

I'll post 2 more clips from her presentation I recorded. She was dynamic, funny and so relevant. This is an honor to be in the presence of so many Big Brains
DeleteEmbracing diversity in any public institution seems to be the right thing to do, but I wonder how many educators actually take the time to create an atmosphere where diversity is embraced. My Washington, D.C. K-8 school is located in Foggy Bottom D.C., an racially and politically diverse community. The problem is there hasn't been a discussion about what we need to put in place at my school in order to include everyone. Students and staff often walk around as sub members of the local community and never really play a role in the greatness of the school. It isn't their fault. I'd like to step up this year and start the conversation at my school. I'm sure this is a case where it just takes one to start the process.
