Guest lecture: Homelessness in US Classrooms

Professor Dr. Kerri Tobin is a researcher who focuses on the effects of poverty on all facets of education, with particular interest in the intersections of race and class as they play out in classrooms and schools. Knowing that poverty impacts which schools children attend, what their teachers expect of them, and what they will ultimately go on to achieve, she helps new and pre-service teachers recognize and understand their tremendous responsibilities in the classroom. 

On Friday, 20 October 2023, the visiting professor will talk about her research. The lecture will take place as part of the Master's and Doctoral Colloquium in Biology and Physics; the event is in fact open to all interested persons. The talk starts at 2:30 p.m. in room B.308 (Im Neuenheimer Feld 561, 69120 Heidelberg).

Your contact person at the Heidelberg University of Education is Professor Dr. Manuela Welzel-Breuer.
