CONFRONTING TRAUMA IN EDUCATION & BEYOND: CHARTING A PATHWAY FORWARD FOR BLACK MEN & BOYS
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - the location of the 2024 International Colloquium on Black Males in Education - is a microcosm of the disparate outcomes between White and Black residents in cities across the United States and the world.
Despite being repeatedly ranked as one of the “most liveable cities in the United States” by Economist’s Global Livability Ranking, quality of life is not experienced equally by all Pittsburgh residents.
A 2020 report conducted by a city-appointed Gender Equity commission to examine inequality across gender and race found that Pittsburgh ranks below national averages for Black men on several indicators, particularly outcomes related to health, employment, education, and in-school disciplinary actions.
World-class scholars, high-impact practitioners, policy makers, funders, students, and concerned citizens gathered in Pittsburgh on October 23 – 25, 2024 for keynote presentations from leading scholars and practitioners, interactive panel discussions, networking, and a cultural immersion experience at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center.
