À propos de cet audio

Welcome to another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast. In this episode, we dive into Reauthoring Savage Inequalities: Narratives of Community Cultural Wealth in Urban Educational Environments, a powerful book exploring the dynamics that shape education in urban communities. Our host, Dr. Theresa J. Canada is not only leading this conversation, but shes also a contributing author. Her chapter, titled "Old School Urban Education: How Friends, Families, Communities, and Teachers Support Success in Early Childhood Education", centers on early childhood education, which has long been her passion and research focus.


Dr. Canada shares insights from her lived experiences and academic journey, highlighting the four key areas that have had a profound impact on educational outcomes for Black children in urban schools: friends, teachers, family, and community. Through personal reflection, she discusses how these support systems shaped her own path and how they continue to influence children today.


We explore how strong relationships help ground children in their cultural identity, emphasizing the vital role of representation in the classroom and the lasting impact of parental involvement. Tune in for a conversation about a supportive learning environment that nurtures academic success and the transformative power of connection.
