Oakland University will hold a professional development conference for secondary educators on August 9, 2023 to explore the following questions:

How do we talk about the nation’s racial past and present in our classrooms and communities?

How do we honestly examine and confront the history of race in the United States in today’s contentious environment?

How should teachers respond to those who want to exclude any discussion of systemic racism in our history, our culture, our institutions, and our economy?
