The College of Education invites all interested to a lecture and discussion featuring Leigh Patel, Ida Cordelia Beam Visiting Scholar and Professor of Educational Foundations, Organizations, and Policy, at the University of Pittsburgh.
Patel is a transdisciplinary scholar who studies the narratives that create material realities in society. Her research focuses on the ways schooling delivers inequities and how education can be a tool for liberation.
As part of her UI visit, Patel will give a lecture titled, "Learning, Care, and World-Building in Higher Education," followed by a facilitated discussion with a UI education faculty member and Center for Teaching staff member, and dialogue with attendees.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 4, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m., in the Iowa Memorial Union Iowa Theatre (166), and use the Qualtrics link from the event page to get a calendar item and be counted for our coffee and sweets! This event is open to the public, please share among your UI communities.
