Y-Lab is pleased to host Janel George, Georgetown Law Associate Professor of Law and the founding Director of the Racial Equity in Education Law and Policy (REELP) Clinic.
Professor George will present a draft of her paper, Deny, Defund, and Divert: The Law and American Miseducation, which “draws a through-line between laws enacted to prevent desegregation” in the aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education and recently-introduced “laws that seek to exclude the nation’s history of racial inequality and its enduring effects from curriculum.” Her scholarship explicitly “builds upon the critical race theory concept of race, reform, and retrenchment, by asserting that education retrenchment laws enacted following periods of racial progress can be characterized by the deny, defund, and divert framework.”
This talk is part of Y-Lab’s Preserving Public Education Speaker Series.
Co-sponsored by: Advocates for Education, Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Disability Law Students Association, First Class, La Alianza, Trauma and Learning Policy Initiative/Education Law Clinic, and the HLS Women’s Law Association.
