On The Margins

Dr. Tracey Benson is co-author of the recently released book Unconscious Bias in Schools: A Developmental Approach to Exploring Race and Racism. He is an associate professor, race scholar, former teacher and principal. His depth of knowledge about issues of race and schools is born from both extensive personal experience and research in the field. In this episode, he shares the ways that teachers and leaders can begin the work of adopting deliberately anti-racist approaches to learning,  confront their own biases and increase their understanding of systemic racism in the United States context.
