Faculty of Education and the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora Prof. Carl James was on CBC Radio to discuss what systemic racism can look like in education and to highlight the importance of changing the culture of schooling itself.
“We need to see all kinds of teachers and the research shows that black students and black male students especially are more likely to graduate if they have black teachers. But we’re not talking about black teachers for only black students, because white students need to see black teachers as well,” said James.
