Leadership students at UMass Dartmouth will be on Nov. 13-14th at Greater New Bedford Vocational Technical High School. This year's theme is Another Education is Possible: Transforming Education through Resistance, Resilience, and Empowerment. We understand the importance of having a dialogue about the critical spaces for resistance in education among researchers, communities, youth, and educators in order to begin to work for critical transformative change both locally and globally.

Dr. Lilia Bartolom will be the keynote speaker on Friday and Dr. Vajra Watson will be speaking on Saturday, Nov. 14th about "The Pedagogy of Our Lives: Teaching Tools for Social Resistance within and beyond the Walls of Schools."
