The Critically Conscious Classroom: Dr. Vajra Watson

The Critically Conscious Classroom returns as Dr. Tracie Noriega and Anthony Robinson welcome Dr. Vajra Watson for a conversation about education as a vehicle for transformation and why learning is the soul of social change. Watson reflects on how ethnic studies shaped her own identity and educational journey, why knowing a student's name is an act of seeing and respect, and what adults can learn by truly listening to young people. She also shares the story behind Sacramento Area Youth Speaks and why creating meaningful change for students means putting the ecosystem ahead of the ego.
