Jared Joseph - Organizer

In this workshop, facilitators will explore recent studies, findings and initiatives related to race and racism in the field of early childhood. They will explore the intersectionality and complexity of Black mothering as a direct response to anti-Black racism and other forms of oppression. The workshop includes an interactive call to action for practitioners, administrators, educators and the like.

This session is based on a research project aimed at understanding the educational experiences of refugee background children as
they journey from back home, to transition countries, and eventually to Canada. Their stories, artistic creations, and advice for educators will be shared and discussed. This session is aimed at educators working in out-of-school care and attendees will learn
strategies and gain resources for working with children from refugee backgrounds.
