“Fast & Curious: ED Talks from UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz School,”
The event will feature three faculty members, one graduate student, one alumna, one retired faculty member/alumna, and one non-GGSE professor giving no more than eight-minute talks each their research or work that is shaping education and applied psychology.
To further strengthen the partnership between the Gevirtz School and the Santa Barbara Public Library, this edition will focus on the themes found in the 2019 Santa Barbara Reads selection Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Affectionately referred to by fans as Ari and Dante, this multiple award-winning young adult novel is a coming of age story that explores topics such as racial and sexual identities, family relationships, families with incarcerated members, queer youth, veterans, and mental health issues.
This evening will be the seventh in the successful series that began in February 2017. Videos of talks from the other evenings, which drew crowds of approximately 75 each, can be seen online (education.ucsb.edu/impact/local/fast-curious-ed-talks).
