About this event

  • 1 hour

Join Worcester Education Collaborative and Worcester Public Schools for a virtual fireside chat with Dr. Shawn Ginwright, Jerome T. Murphy Professor of Practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Education moderated by Worcester State University President, Barry Maloney.


Conversation is guaranteed to be lively and will focus on Dr. Ginwright’s recent book, "The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves." The book boldly asserts four revolutionary pivots for better activism and collective leadership – focusing on awareness, connection, vision, and presence. It demonstrates ways to discover new lenses and asserts our need for transformation, trust, wholeness, and healing.


Joining Dr. Ginwright and Pr. Maloney will be Ms. Raquel Castro-Corazzini of Worcester’s Division of Youth Opportunities, and Worcester Public Schools Superintendent, Rachel Monárrez.


The event is free and open to the public.


Many thanks to the Esler Family Foundation for sponsoring this event.
