>  Dear Colleague,
>


> You are invited to submit a chapter proposal for an edited text,
> tentatively titled “Building Anti-racist Communities.”
>
> The co-editors are Dr. Theresa Austin (University of Massachusetts,
> Amherst) and Dr. Miriam Eisenstein Ebsworth (New York University). The
> research assistant on the project is Nico Chen, doctoral student in TESOL
> (New York University).
>


> *Objective of the Book *
>
> In the spirit of preparing teachers and researchers to address complex
> issues of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, culture, language variety and
> class, we are framing the text in terms of intersectionalities and
> hybridities that are experienced in real-world encounters among members of
> communities from diverse social positions in the United States. We consider
> how these and other factors interact in the dynamic field of antiracist
> pedagogy and research. In this collaborative effort, we seek new ways to
> adapt our research and teaching practices in response to these shifting
> times -- a creative communion that continues the difficult work towards a
> more inclusive participatory democracy through the enterprise of
> educational equity.
>


> We wish to encourage making public actual lived teaching/researching
> experiences describing events that challenge the inequities that have
> arisen while teaching and learning in contact with communities of
> difference.
>


> Envisioning this project, we look forward to proposals describing events
> that challenge the inequities that have arisen while teaching and learning
> in contact with communities of difference.
>
> We hope to have chapters that:
>
> 1. invite our readership to acknowledge the political and practical
> constraints under which they are working (interests and privileges).
>
> 2. present the event/s that warrant critical reflection and action.
>
> 3. offer space to encourage our readership to become more aware of how the
> intersectionalities described by the contributors interact dynamically
> within classrooms, schools, and community contexts, leading them to
> consider actions that support mutual understanding and collaboration.
>
> 4. include potential actions to help create spaces for growth in which
> anti-racist communities approach each other in the shared struggle towards
> transforming inequitable conditions for teaching/researching/learning.
>
>
> *Target Audience *
>


> The projected audience for this text includes US teachers, teacher
> educators, and researchers committed to exploring their contexts to
> identify practices and perspectives whose consequences are important for
> inclusivity of learners and their communities. We recognize the need to
> address the complex and dynamic systems that perpetuate inequalities and
> stigma and hope to deepen our understanding and activism going forward. We
> count on every step in this process, irrespective of how modest it may be,
> offering a potentially transformative contribution.
>
