Upcoming Book Clubs
March 14th, 3.30p.m. CET
We’re excited to share that we’ll be joined by the author for our next book club about Antisocial Language Teaching: English and the Pervasive Pathology of Whiteness, by JPB Gerald.
Dr. JPB Gerald is an educator and theorist with a day job in non-profit education management and a side hustle trying to dismantle these systems we’re all in. He writes and speaks about the intersection between racism, language education, and ability, and lives on unceded Munsee Lenape territory (aka NYC) with his wife, toddler, and dog
Join us for an hour of informal discussion of the book and questions it raises. The event is free and open to both members and non-members.
Register here.
We hope to see you there.
