The Flint Water Crisis is one of the most egregious examples of environmental racism in recent memory.
Flint is not anomalous. In every corner of the country poor people and people of color are disproportionately burdened by environmental contamination — in their neighborhoods, schools, and homes.
Drawing from three recent real-world case studies (Flint, Michigan; Newark, New Jersey; and Jackson, Mississippi), we introduce a new mixer activity (suitable for middle and high school students) that surfaces both the causes and consequences of environmental racism.
This lesson, by Matt Reed and Ursula Wolfe-Rocca, is described in the Spring issue of Rethinking Schools magazine.
This virtual professional development workshop is an interactive overview of our resource Teaching Hard History: A Framework for Teaching American Slavery. Participants will learn about new and existing curricular materials, become familiar with our text library and how it aligns to the framework, and gain strategies for teaching about topics like freedom, race, enslavement and resistance while avoiding common pitfalls.
Upcoming Virtual Workshops:
Four doctoral advisees of Joachim Savelsberg, and co-advisees with Alejandro Baer, will present their research on the legal, cultural, and political processing of mass violence. Each presenter will speak for 15 minutes, followed by a Q&A period.
Virtual and in person at CHGS Library, 710 Social Sciences Building, University of Minnesota

Join us on April 21, in honor of Earth Day, for an in depth dialogue with international advocates working at the intersection of human rights and climate justice. We’ll bring the spirit of dialogue to this difficult topic!
Embracing the intersectional challenge of climate change and climate justice means stepping into a brave space, over and over again. So, how do we do this while also maintaining joy? While maintaining a learner’s stance and being open to possibility? This panel + dialogue will dig in to those questions, plus more, including how human rights are inextricable from climate justice.
