Title: Focus on Identity: The Intersection of Race and Culture
Date: March 30, 2022
Speaker: Jessica Pepple, Ed.S., MBA, Regional Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the tri-towns of Norfolk, Wrentham, and Plainville Public Schools
Description: Participants will be able to explain the analytical framework of intersectionality- understanding how aspects of a person's social and political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege (Crenshaw, 1989). Participants will be able to identify and work strategies that will dismantle intersectionality within the school community.
