Please join us as we welcome our guest speaker, Dr. Chezare Warren from Michigan State University.

Chezare Warren’s research interests include urban teacher preparation, culturally responsive teaching, and critical race theory in education.He has studied the utility of empathy for White female teachers’ cross-cultural interactions with Black boys—work for which he received the 2014 Outstanding Dissertation Award from the American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE). Currently, he is looking to examine the school conditions and teacher dispositions that produce high academic outcomes for students of color, particularly Black males in K-12 education contexts.
