This event, free and open to members of the U-M community, is part of the 2022–2023 Race and Social Justice Institute: The Art of Truth Telling.
Participants will be joined by Dr. James W. Hammond, a postdoctoral fellow and graduate of the U-M School of Education. Dr. Hammond’s scholarship seeks to reframe histories of education by excavating hidden racist logics and projects at work in “everyday” education policies and practices. His talk highlights the complex and pervasive ways that scientific racism shaped educational assessment in the 19th and early 20th centuries, entrenching an infrastructure of injustice that continues to haunt education today.
