At this week's Round Table, Inica, Isaiah, Madeline, and Olivia spoke with Patrick Joseph, PhD student at Teachers College and Graduate Research Assistant for the Center for Educational Equity, where he works on civic diversity. Patrick’s commitment to educational and political transformation has played out through his work as a classroom teacher, as the Senior Education Policy Advisor for the Manhattan Borough President, and most recently, as Grants and Policy Manager for the NYC Census. You’ve probably heard a lot about why the Census is important, the implications of undercounting, and how far behind we are in the count given COVID-19. Pat takes conventional thinking about the Census to a different and deeper dimension, coupling it with deep analysis of representation, power, and what is necessary to create the political and civic change we need. Thank you for joining us!
