On-going CFE projects:
Intergroup Dialogue Program
Intergroup Dialogue Program academic courses were first developed as part of Syracuse University's participation in the Multiversity Intergroup Dialogue Research Project. The project brings together faculty, staff, and graduate students across nine institutions to develop best practices in intergroup dialogue, including the development and impleme

ntation of a shared curriculum. At the center of this collaboration is a research study that examines the educational benefits of student learning through intergroup dialogue. This research study is based on a multi-method, longitudinal, design. The Intergroup Dialogue Program at Syracuse University remains deeply involved in the nexus of theory, research, and practice important for intergroup dialogue. Faculty, teaching, and research staff are familiar with and active in various expressions of social justice education. Collectively and individually, we are committed to research that develops an understanding of critical learning processes and change through education.

We are excited to announce that CFEr Martín Alberto Gonzalez will be presenting his book, "21 Miles of Scenic Beauty... and then Oxnard: Counterstories and Testimonies," at the La Casita community center in Syracuse, NY.

Please share information below and flyer accordingly.

A Conversation with Martín A. González

Time and date: Wednesday, April 11 at 6 PM - 7:30 PM

Location: La Casita Cultural Center | 109 Otisco St, Syracuse, New York 13204


Martín Alberto González will be offering a talk and signing copies of his first book published earlier this year, "21 Miles of Scenic Beauty and Then Oxnard" a collection of counterstorries and testimonies based on personal experience.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Despite its wonderful everyday weather and beautiful surf-ridden beaches, Oxnard, California, has a reputation for being dangerous and demoralizing due to its gang presence. In his first book, Martín Alberto González takes this narrative head on through a series of stories loosely based on his experiences and observations growing up in Oxnard as a first-generation Xicano. Rather than focusing on everything that deems the city as bad, such as its overabundance of undereducated Brown people, Martín flips the script through counter-storytelling and testimonies that shed light on injustices directly impacting his community.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Martín Alberto González is a Xicano raised in Oxnard, CA. He completed his undergraduate studies at California State University, Northridge and is currently a doctoral student in the Cultural Foundations of Education graduate program at Syracuse University. He is also in charge of coordinating dual-language literacy programs for Syracuse youth at La Casita.

This presentation is part of La Casita's annual library campaign DIVERSITY in READING. The goal of the program is to raise awareness and support for La Casita's Bilingual Library and dual language literacy programs.

The Theta Xi Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., in keeping with our national commitment to President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper Initiative, proudly introduces I Am My Brother’s Keeper. Through this program, the chapter will adopt a 10-point agenda to address issues impacting men of color in the Syracuse community, particularly in the following manners:

Entrepreneurial Development of African-American males
Sigma Beta Club Programming
Addressing the disparaging drop-out rates of our young men of color
Educate African American males on the essentials of mentoring

Joining us to kickoff the launch of our new chapter initiative is Syracuse University alumni Dr. Don C. Sawyer III. Sawyer. Dr. Sawyer is currently a tenure-track assistant professor in the department of sociology at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. He teaches courses on Race, Education, Popular Culture, and Visual Sociology, including the university’s first sociology course dedicated to hip-hop culture. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Sociology and M.S. in Cultural Foundations of Education from Syracuse University and a B.A. in Psychology from Hartwick College. His scholarly focus is on race, urban education, hip-hop culture, visual sociology, and youth critical media literacy. His current book project is an analysis of the social and academic experiences of African American male students in a dismantled urban middle school. He is also the creator of a hip-hop program (The Crossroads Collective) at an urban public high school in New Haven, Connecticut serving Black and Latino males at risk of dropping out.

The event will highlight Syracuse University and Syracuse community mentorship programs as well as recognize the achievements of our local philanthropic partner the Good Life Youth Foundation.

Please join us Wednesday March 23rd in Slocum Auditorium (SlOC 214) at 7:14pm to learn more about our new initiative and how you could get involved! For more information contact chapter secretary Travis Davis at [email protected].

CFE community,

OPPORTUNITY! Admitted Students Virtual Visit Day

On Monday, March 28th from 7-9pm the CFE Council will host the first CFE Admitted Students Virtual Visit Day. Recognizing that admitted students may not all have access to physically visit campus, communicate with current students, and more, we wanted to be sure to provide an additional platform through video call-in that welcomes admitted students. It is possible that admitted students will join the video to ask questions about curriculum, advising, CFE in a broad sense, the Syracuse area, and much more.

Please see the attached flyer.
