A village near the river is in trouble. Something is killing off fish
and making the water undrinkable. The villagers spend months digging
wells to get enough fresh water to drink and farm with. Little do they
know two miles upstream another village has been dumping refuse into
the river, poisoning the water.What is your “upstream” problem?
How do you identify the structural causes to systemic issues?
In this intensive, interactive workshop, Professor Shantá Robinson
will explore the US education system. Participants will take a look at
the entire system as a case study for recognizing systemic problems
and identifying levers for creating systemic change. The skills gained
through this workshop are directly applicable to multiple areas of the
public sector, from policy-making to direct service.
Shantá Robinson is an Assistant Professor in the School of Social
Service Administration. She has experience training education
professionals on skills including facilitation, critical
consciousness, and empathy. Her latest endeavor, Life Courses, engages
students and education in conversations around privilege and power
with the goal of establishing empathy-first responses to critical
problems.
