</p><p>Anti-Blackness is woven into the
fabric of the U.S., and more specifically, in English Education programs. In
order to enact social justice, we have to explicitly acknowledge the presence
of anti-blackness. The research study explores how Black English Education
faculty center Blackness in their courses, to develop a framework to determine
how centering Blackness can be the foundation of English Education programs.
This shifts from just stating that Black Lives Matter, to <em>action. </em></p> | Porcher, Kisha | kporcher | | <img alt="" src="/ResearchProject/ELATE.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
