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.

The RSJI welcomes Dr. Natalie Davis, assistant professor at Georgia State University, and graduate of the U-M School of Education as the opening keynote speaker. Some of Dr. Davis’s early work documents the teaching of science for young Black children using the Flint Water Crisis. Dr. Davis will provide answers to the question: Can truth telling be a part of the work of elementary teaching? She will offer insight into her scholarly development and trajectory, and connect her growing body of research to issues of method, truth, and artfulness by integrating multimodal texts and examples of robust forms of sociopolitical learning for children. Dr. Davis will highlight the role of dreaming and poetics in pursuing educational justice.
