<p>Emancipatory Education Now is a student-led initiative at the SJSU Lurie College of Education that examines what emancipatory education – the critical evaluation of the systems and structures of oppression that maintain the status quo in our educational institutions – looks like in today’s society and advocates for the expansion of emancipatory education research, policies, and practices. &nbsp;In this episode, you can learn more about our student co-hosts - Abby, Aminah, Ana, Vaishnavi, and Victor - through their name stories. &nbsp;They also share a preview of some of the topics they plan to discuss in more detail later this semester.</p> <p>The call to action for this episode: Exchange your name story with a family member, friend, colleague, or classmate!</p> <p>Additional resources shared in this episode include:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/42980382?seq=1">Decolonization and Education: Locating Pedagogy and Self at the Interstices in Global Times by Nina Asher</a></li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/3WWyVRo4Uas">The Four I's of Oppression YouTube video</a></li> </ul> <p>All of the recordings for this series are available at <a href="https://sjsu.edu/education/emancipatory-education-now"><strong>https://sjsu.edu/education/emancipatory-education-now</strong></a></p>
