Community Discussion: How Poverty, Racism and Marginalization Affect Student Learning

The cognitive resources for learning of many of our students have been and are being diminished by the negative effects of persistent economic insecurity and discrimination and hostility against non-majority groups based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity, and other aspects of difference. Recognizing that these students are no different than their peers in terms of cognitive capacity, we can implement strategies and interventions – in and outside the classroom - that show promise in helping students regain the cognitive resources to be successful in college.

Intended Audience:
All COS Faculty, Staff and Students are invited. No background knowledge needed. All are welcome.
