Reimagining Education Through an Abolitionist Lens
Anita Chikkatur, a Periclean Faculty Leader (PFL) and Professor of Educational Studies at Carleton College, partnered with Marika Pfefferkorn, Co-founder of the Twin Cities Innovation Alliance and Executive Director of Midwest Center for School Transformation, to develop and teach an exciting senior seminar course at Carleton College this past Spring: Carcerality and Education. This course was developed as part of the Periclean Faculty Leadership (PFL) Program–a Project Pericles faculty leadership initiative that supports innovative curricula deepening students’ engagement with critical societal issues in order to contribute meaningfully to communities.
