Hey Scholars! I am super excited about this episode because this is one of my favorite topics. Today I am joined by Dr. Shannon Beth Wanless. Dr. Wanless is an associate professor and the director of The Office of Child Development in the University of Pittsburgh School of Education.  Her current work is on social justice and equity (SJ&E). She explores ways that children, preservice teachers, and organizational leaders develop SJ&E skills and how to create classroom, school, and organizational climates that reflect SJ&E tenets.Join us as we discuss how SJ&E play a role in every social-emotional experience yet the majority of research and practice still takes a colorblind approach. The good news is that we see promising signs that the SEL and social justice fields are getting acquainted but we can all do better than we are doing right now. Let's commit to set aside time and make safe spaces to grapple with your colleagues about ways we can strengthen the equity gaps in the SEL field and to raise a generation of students and teachers that are prepared to use their SEL skills to fight for social justice. Listen in to learn more.GUEST INFO  —Website - https://www.ocd.pitt.edu/Book Drive - https://www.ocd.pitt.edu/booksRESOURCES MENTIONED —Positive Racial Identity Development In Early Education - https://www.racepride.pitt.edu/Yoga Roots on Location - https://www.facebook.com/yogarootsonlocation/Radical Self Care - https://bit.ly/3zomh0sBraiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer - https://amzn.to/3gfuufF LET’S GET SOCIAL —Linked in - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tia-navelene-barnes-ab262576/Twitter - https://twitter.com/drtianbarnesWebsite - https://www.drtiabarnes.com/ MORE ABOUT DR.
