A critical conversation about higher education with Eboni Zamani-Gallaher

In this episode, CSBS team members Brent Roberts and I will speak with Prof. Eboni Zamani-Gallaher about why community colleges are more important than ever before. She is a professor in the Department of Education Policy, Organization & Leadership and director of the oldest community college research hub in America, the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL). Dr. Zamani-Gallaher will lead us through a critical conversation on how community colleges are a promising springboard for economic opportunity, but also how they are a reflection of the unspoken racial and ethical challenges existing in society. We’ll talk specifically about what is needed for higher ed to contribute to anti-racism work and encourage more equitable student outcomes.
