NEASC Annual Conference and Showcase

If authentic democracy is to flourish, and the principles of social justice and equity truly realized, then all students, regardless of demography need to be given a voice and space. The purpose of this study was to explore the currently underrepresented educational experiences of Muslim youth that would allow us to develop means in which they can be empowered to becoming visible citizens of their country. Participants will learn about the experience of marginalization, invalidation, micro-aggressions, acculturation, and resilience allowing them to walk away with ideas for inclusive practice. There will be a PowerPoint presentation, followed by Q&A and discussion.
