Feb. 11: Campbell chair candidate presentation
Christopher Dunbar, Jr., candidate for the College's Carmen Starkson Campbell Endowed Chair in Urban Education, will present research that examines experiences of disenfranchised children, school leadership, and educational policy in urban school contexts. His work illuminates the lives of children who have been expelled from traditional public schools and warehoused in alternative school environments and therefore deemed expendable. His research elucidates the adverse impact of various educational policies on marginalized/disenfranchised student populations, the majority of whom are students of color. By employing critical theory, critical race theory, and narratives/story-telling, Dunbar’s work offers multiple lenses through which to understand the complexity of the multi-faceted lives of these children.
