Ineffective Black history education is a global phenomenon. Reasons for this include anti-Black philosophies where forms of miseducation and Black dehumanization have guided history education policy. Additionally, many Black history proponents lack general Black history definition and knowledge. This presentation seeks to inform audiences of effective and humanistic ways to approach Black history through a Black historical consciousness framework as put forth by LaGarrett聽King.

In conversation, Funk茅 Aladejebi聽will respond and draw on feminist pedagogies to further explore how legacies of race, gender, and migration influence the contemporary educational encounters of Black Canadian communities.

Dr. LaGarrett King is Professor and Director of the Centre for K-12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education, Graduate School of Education at the University at Buffalo (SUNY).

Dr. Funk茅 Aladejebi is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.
