Since 2020, AAPF’s summer schools have served as foundational platforms for learning about the forbidden histories and knowledge that make collective advocacy and activation possible.

Over the course of five Wednesdays starting May 27th, and together with our partners the Freedom to Learn Network and Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia Law School, Backtalkers Academy through homerooms, plenaries, intensives and office hours, will engage in interactive conversations on Critical Race Theory, historical memory, feminism, democracy, and education. Featuring some of the most distinguished racial justice and democracy experts including Carol Anderson, Barbara Arnwine, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Ibram X. Kendi, Nancy MacLean, Jason Stanley, and Kaye Wise Whitehead, and many more, this is a space to sharpen your analysis of the democratic crisis we are living through and forge the tools needed to fight back.

We will be running a special 10% early bird discount to the first 100 people who register by April 10th. Just use EarlyBird10 at checkout.

In addition, limited 50% scholarships are available  for those who would not otherwise be able to attend.
