The photo features a white background with a semi-triangular yellow section in the top right. Within this section are two circular photos of individuals--one is a woman with dreadlocks staring directly at the camera and the other is a man in profile staring off to the left with dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail, a black shirt, a long red beaded necklace and a red, white and black scarf looped around his neck. Black text between them reads “Bettina Love & David Stovall: A Conversation on Education.” Below the yellow section on the white background is black text listing the date, time, location and RSVP link for the event. Below that is an orange rectangular section that has the cover of Dr. Love’s book “Punished for Dreaming” on the left and the event description and short bios for Drs. Love and Stovall in black text on the right. Below the orange section are the logos for the UIC Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy (IRRPP) and the Chicago Teachers Union on the white background.

Join UIC’s Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy and co-sponsor Chicago Teachers Union for a conversation between education activist scholars Dr. Bettina Love and Dr. David Stovall. The first 100 people to check in at the registration desk at the event, will receive a free, signed copy of Dr. Love's book, Punished for Dreaming. Books will also be available for purchase. This is the first event of IRRPP's 25th anniversary celebration in 2025. As part of the celebration, we will have an event with Mariame Kaba and Beth Richie on March 12th and with Nancy Krieger on April 10th. Be on the lookout as well for a couple of special events in the Fall of 2025 when we will welcome Marc Lamont Hill to UIC in September and hold a large celebration in November to cap the year of events.

Registration is required. Please use the link below to register for the event.

About the series: Events in the Legacies of Racism Series deepen our understanding of the challenges and possibilities of policy efforts to address longstanding racial inequality. Legacies of Racism events build on the themes from our State of Racial Justice in Chicago reports and explore the recent and historic origins of racial and ethnic inequities and ask questions about what it means to try to repair systematic harm done to people and communities.
