Love is an award-winning author and Associate Professor of Educational Theory &amp; Practice at the University of Georgia. Dr. Love is also one of the field’s most esteemed educational researchers in the area of Hip Hop education. Her research focuses on the ways in which urban youth negotiate Hip Hop music and culture to form social, cultural, and political identities to create new and sustaining ways of thinking about urban education and intersectional social justice. Her work is also concerned with how teachers and schools working with parents and communities can build communal, civically engaged schools rooted in intersectional social justice for the goal of equitable classrooms.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://bettinalove.com/"><u><strong>https://bettinalove.com/</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Book:</strong></p> <p><em>We Want To Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom</em></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Want-More-Than-Survive-Abolitionist/dp/0807069159/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1534517141&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=bettina+love"><u><em>https://www.amazon.com/Want-More-Than-Survive-Abolitionist/dp/0807069159/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1534517141&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=bettina+love</em></u></a></p> <p><strong>Media:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://bettinalove.com/media/"><u><strong>https://bettinalove.com/media/</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>__________________________________________________________________</strong></p> <p>Have you seen the #PandaMiles happening on Twitter?</p> <p>We made a goal for the #CanvasFam to GO THE DISTANCE FOR LEARNING in the month of May by walking/hiking/jogging/biking/running 500 miles as a symbol of the great efforts put forth by educators, worldwide.
