Education scholars Sharon Chubbuck and Cynthia Ellwood take an in-depth look at how “Oakmont High,” a large, diverse public school addressed racial inequality head-on. With a focus on efforts to address “tracking” practices, offers an unflinching view to systemic racism in the context of “the way we do school”. Reserve your spot now for what promises to be an engaging discussion about this especially timely topic. Followed by a book signing.

Doors and minibar open at 5:30PM
