Your Practice, Research Interest(s) & other Connections?
In honor of Black History Month
The Howard University Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC) is aiming to collaborate with fellow HU School of Education (HUSOE) student organizations, faculty and guests in order to partake in an experience of engaging in, uplifting and honoring the intersections of lived and imagined experiences of Black people. Our objective is to debunk myths and negative narratives about Black individuals, communities, children, parenthood, families, experiences, creativity, intellectual contributions and movement(s). To contribute to this work, we have developed the GSAC Debunked Series: PhotoVoice Gallery.
