Seminar in Education

Dear Colleagues,

I invite you and your students to attend the following seminar presented by Dr. Filiberto Penados, a Belizian activist and scholar. Dr. Penados completed his PhD in New Zealand as a commonwealth scholar and then returned to Belize where he has been a key figure in combating marginalization of the indigenous people through education and community-based actions. I invite you all to check out the web site, [ http://www.tumulkinbelize.org/ ]www.tumulkinbelize.org of the alternative, community-based school Filiberto established in Belize.

I apologize for the short notice of this event, but assure you it will be well worth attending. While many of us engage with the literature and scholarship of marginalization, equity and anti-racism through our classes, research and writing, Filiberto brings lived experience of the ways in which peoples can respond to these realities.


Looking forward to seeing you there,


Ruth
