Author Mark Perry To Speak At MCLA - June 30, 2008
NORTH ADAMS – Teacher educator and alternative high school teacher and former principal Mark Perry, Ph.D., will speak at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts on Thursday, July 1, at 6:45 p.m.., in Murdock Hall conference room 218 as part of Leadership Academy, a program of MCLA’s Graduate Studies in Education.
The event is free and open to the public. Perry’s teaching and research on race, cultural relevancy, white teachers, and alternative and democratic education are guided by the question: What is worthwhile to know and experience? He will return to MCLA to speak on Thursday, July 17, at 1:15 p.m. during the second session of Leadership Academy.
Participants in this summer’s Leadership Academy at MCLA will read Perry’s book, “Walking the Color Line: The Art and Practice of Anti-Racist Teaching,” which focuses upon how racially mixed teaching facilities can model democratic ideals and how white teachers and administrators of color can effectively deal with their differences.
Perry holds master’s and doctorate degrees in education from the University of Illinois at Chicago. The lectures will be presented in part through the generosity of the Mervin Wineberg Memorial Endowment. For more information, contact the Office of Lifelong Learning, 413-662-5543, or go to www.mcla.edu. |
