Join Dr. Leigh Patel, Ida Cordelia Beam Distinguished Visiting Professor, for a panel discussion and conversation with Iowa cultural workers and community leaders.

Dr. Patel is a Professor of Educational Foundation, Organizations and Policy at University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Patel's work focuses on the ways that formal education has consistently acted as one site of coloniality and oppression, and that education and studying is one of the strongest tools for liberation. Political education and critical analysis are essential in the work she does with others: imagining a new world.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., join us for social connection and pizza! Please RSVP by March 1 so we know how much food to order.

Sponsored by The University of Iowa Center for Teaching, College of Education, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, and the Iowa City Public Library.
