#79 - Supporting Arab and Muslim Students feat. Dr. Sawsan Jaber! All of the Above Podcast
-
- Education
Conversations around equity in education too often leave out the voices and experiences of Arab and Muslim students whose identities don’t always fit into the rigid social constructs of race in America. This week we’re joined by educator and scholar extraordinaire Dr. Sawsan Jaber to learn about how educators should understand the identities of the Muslim and Arab students they serve, and how these identities may impact the schooling experiences of these students. In the face of rampant Islamophobia and an aversion towards teaching about the Israeli occupation of Palestine, how might educators address these topics responsibly and advocate for their Arab and Muslim students? But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including a new media literacy graduation requirement in Illinois and an attempt to put school choice on the ballot in California.
