Welcome

The Matrix advances research, curriculum, and faculty development examining the dynamics of oppression and privilege in the United States and around the globe. Our central focus is on the intersections of gender, race/ethnicity, and sexuality, as they interact with each other and with other dimensions of inequality. We strive to foster an intellectual climate that supports inclusion and collaboration among our faculty, students, and the community.

"The 'Culture of Poverty' and Other Myths That Harm Low-Income Families"

An exploration of the myths that too often guide conversations about class and poverty in schools and distract us from the real work of educational equity. Gorski will focus on developing a fuller understanding of class and poverty as they operate in the U.S. and its schools and what educators can do within their own spheres of influence to reject these myths and create equitable learning environments for low-income students.
