Featured Speakers

Dr. Robin DiAngelo

Nice Racism

Based on her second NYT Bestselling book, Dr. DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unawarely perpetuate racial harm. These patterns include rushing to prove that we are “not racist,” downplaying white advantage, romanticizing Black, Indigenous and other peoples of color (BIPOC), pretending white segregation “just happens,” expecting BIPOC people to teach us about racism, carefulness, guilt and shame. She offers a series of reflection questions, an assessment tool, and a list of the skills and perspectives that can counter “nice” racism.

Racial Equity in Rural Wisconsin: Is it Relevant?

Many Wisconsin districts have not consistently engaged in conversations around race in education yet show significant educational disparities for Black, Brown, and Indigenous students. This presentation outlines a forthcoming publication to support educators and community members in conversations around racial equity.

Seth Bishop

The brief includes current demographic trends and an analysis of what these rural school districts will look like in the coming decade, an analysis of racial disproportionality using a new methodology that controls for small cell size, and best practices to address and dispel common misconceptions about rural areas, including a toolkit for educators to address detours from racial equity in education.
