Panelists:

David Stovall, Ph.D. is a professor in the departments of Black Studies and Criminology, Law & Justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). His scholarship investigates three areas 1) Critical Race Theory, 2) the relationship between housing and education, and 3) the intersection of race, place and school. In the attempt to bring theory to action, he works with community organizations and schools to address issues of equity, justice and abolishing the school/Pr*son nexus.

Shirin Vossoughi, PhD., a professor in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern, is concerned with understanding the social, cultural, political and ethical dimensions of human learning in ways that contribute to projects of educational justice.To this end, she studies the forms of pedagogical mediation, thinking, relationality and development that take shape within settings that cultivate transformative learning, particularly with migrant, immigrant, diasporic and other non-dominant youth. Her work seeks to understand micro-interactional processes of human learning as tied to broader forms of social change, and the potentials of learning environments as lived arguments for the possible.

The space also has a kitchenette, two handicap accessible bathrooms, filtered water fountain and utility sink.
