Campus Event: Pre-K to Prison Pipeline: Changing the Odds for Boys of Color

On Monday, September 9^th, 2013 the African American Studies Department at the University of Maryland, College Park will host a discussion “Pre-K to Prison Pipeline: Changing the Odds for Boys of Color.” Educational and incarceration trends among boys of color remain a concern within public and academic dialogues. The conversations we hope to inspire during this symposium should not only describe the problem, but also address prevention, rehabilitation, and the successful educational engagement of boys of color so that the Pre-K to Prison cycle can be broken.  As such, the likely topics for this symposium include:

• School discipline and “zero-tolerance” policies
• Relation of incarceration trends to African American social outcomes
• Developing culturally “competent” school staff
• Family and community determinants of educational disengagement and juvenile incarceration
• Urban neighborhoods as sites of educational and incarceration risks
• Impact of federal sentencing guidelines, past and present
• Racial profiling, racism and Trayvon Martin
• Early childhood intervention
• Mental health and boys of color
