Professor Medina Camiscoli will be speakin
g on her work in movement lawyering and her role in the IntegrateNYC lawsui
t\, which was the first lawsuit in the nation asserting a right to an antir
acist education. The lawsuit challenges the many ways in which the State an
d City reproduce racial inequality through the NYC school system\, includin
g:
-maintaining a racialized pipeline to the City’s prime educational
opportunities\, which relegates many students of color to neglected schools
\;
-allowing schools to teach a white and Eurocentric curriculum that
marginalizes people of color\;
-failing to build and support a diverse
educator workforce\;
-and failing to provide adequate mental health s
upports to redress the racialized harms students experience in City schools
.
