Dan Lawler and I participated in a presentation/panel discussion called, "Inclusive Schools and Education Equity" in which the following questions were posed:

1. What does it mean to be a welcoming school district within the constraints of segregated housing patterns? 
2. What can suburban residents do to effect change in a metropolitan system that sanctions separate and unequal educational opportunities? 
3. Does diversity in schools create a net gain for all?

GUEST PANELISTS:

• Dan Lawler and Spiro Bolos, New Trier's Metropolitan Community Project
• Steve Bogira, The Chicago Reader
• Kourtney Cockrell, Student Enrichment Services at Northwestern University

For my "Opening Day" speech (as President of the New Trier Education Association), I chose to focus on the theme of race, and I used a publishing platform called "Medium" (iOS app available) because of the beautiful balance it affords between multimedia and text. See the original slidedeck here.

Thank you for participating in today's session. Below is an embedded slideshare of the presentation.

Based on Cariou v. Prince, _ F.3d _ (2d Cir. 2013).

Patrick Cariou published a book of photographs of Rastafarians and landscapes taken in Jamaica. Richard Prince utilized portions of and entire images from Cariou’s photographs in 28 paintings, many of which were shown in the Gagosian Gallery.
