John A. Powell discussed structural racialization and opportunity structures. Structural racialization refers to how institutions interact to produce racialized outcomes, even without racist intent. Opportunity structures like housing, employment, education are not equally available to all people. Some benefit from structures that act like an "up escalator" while others face structures like a "down escalator". A systems approach is needed to address how global trends and changing conditions impact opportunity.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

5. 5 Our world today is more complex and
interconnected. Future changes will not be only
driven by local/national issues, but influenced by
systemic global trends and challenges
◦ Examples
Globalization
Global warming
The credit and foreclosure crisis
Growing diversity and widening inequality
We must adjust our lens of analysis to reflect these
changing conditions
◦ Moving towards a systems approach of problem solving and
identifying solutions
6. For much of human history, we interacted
exclusively on a face-to-face basis within
small communities
◦ How we understand discrimination,
◦ prejudice, and identity
Now, many of our
relationships are mediated
◦ Technology
◦ Distance
◦ Institutions
People in foreclosure
cannot find a person to
talk to
And our opportunities are
strengthened or truncated
by these mediating factors

consequences not just for those with

8. Structural racialization involves a series of exclusions,
often anchored in (and perpetuating) spatial segregation.
Historically marginalized people of color and the very poor
have been spatially isolated from economic, political,
educational and technological power via reservations, Jim
Crow, Appalachian mountains, ghettos, barrios, and the
culture of incarceration.

―Space is how race plays out in
American society-and the key to
solving inequities in housing,

care…Sprawl is the new face of Jim
Crow.‖
-john powell
10. Rebecca Blank builds on Myrdal’s
concept of ―cumulative causation.‖
In the U.S., while whites are poor
in greater numbers, people of color
are more likely to be in prolonged
poverty and to suffer the
cumulative effects (poor health,
lack of labor market experience,
inadequate education)
Single-issue policies do not
adequately address the multiple
oppressions of poverty
11. o High poverty areas with
poor employment,
underperforming schools,
distressed housing and
public health/safety risks

o People of color are far
more likely to live in

neighborhoods and
communities

distribute to one another in

◦ Current estimate for family of four: $48,778*
Over three times as many families fall below family
budget thresholds as fall below the official poverty line
How far do you fall (children in extreme poverty,
skyrocketing bankruptcy rates, family
homelessness)?
Do neighborhoods provide sustainable
opportunity?
*James Lin and Jared Bernstein, What we need to get by. October 29, 2008 | EPI Briefing Paper #224
14. How can we be sensitive to
inter- and intra-group
differences?
How do the ladders or
pathways of opportunities
differ for different people?
Every institution has built in
assumptions, i.e. ―stairways‖
are a pathway – but not for
people in wheelchairs, baby
strollers, etc.
15. Example: controlling for risk factors, African Americans were
15-30% more likely than whites to get subprime loans for
purchase and for refinance
◦ Likely refinance targets: elderly, often widowed, African American
women in urban areas
For Latinos, similar numbers for purchase, not for refinance
◦ Many Latino homebuyers were recent, first generation homebuyers who
could not be automatically underwritten (multiple income earners, cash,
local credit, etc.)

Responsible Lending) presentations at The Economic Policy Institute panel “Race,

17. How race works today
◦ There are still practices, cultural norms and
institutional arrangements that help create and
maintain (disparate) racialized outcomes
Structural racialization addresses inter-
institutional arrangements and interactions
◦ It refers to the ways in which the joint operation
of institutions produce racialized outcomes
In this analysis, outcomes matter more than intent
17
19. Structural racialization refers to the ways in which
the joint operation of institutions produce racialized
outcomes.
Structures matter and are not neutral. They unevenly
distribute benefits, burdens, and racialized meaning.
This uneven distribution has negative consequences
not just for those with the greatest need, but all of us.
19
20. Why “structural
racialization” as opposed
to “structural racism?”
When you use the term “racism,” people
are inclined to see a specific person—a
racist. However, a racist is not necessary
to produce structural outcomes. Instead,
institutional interactions generate
racialized outcomes

22. How we arrange structures matters
◦ The order of the structures
◦ The timing of the interaction between them
◦ The relationships that exist between them
◦ We must be aware of how structures are arranged in
order to fully understand social phenomena
22
23. Racialized policies and structures:
◦ Promoted sprawl
◦ Concentrated subsidized housing
◦ Led to disparities between schools
Achievement gap
Discipline rates
Funding disparities
Economic segregation
Graduation rates
Racial segregation
23
24. Jobs are distributed through structures
◦ Most teachers are women
◦ Most construction workers are men
◦ When unemployment rates change, we need to
be conscious of how people are segregated into
economic sectors
◦ There are racial and gendered outcomes to
these structural arrangements
24
30. Most people (including scholars and activists) think of
problems from a individual perspective rather than a
systems perspective.
This framing of the issues has the potential to limit our
understanding of the nature and depth of a problem as
well as a proper solution.
Systems theory is a transdisciplinary model that focuses
on a web of relationships and processes and not on linear,
singular causation or the intent of one or even a few
individuals.
30
31. In a complex systems model, actions and inactions
have multiple effects, and the delayed or distant
consequences are often different from more
proximate effects.
From a systems perspective, causation is cumulative
and mutual.
◦ Outcomes are caused by the actions (and inactions) of many
actors and institutions over time and across domains.
◦ Outcomes are the result of causes that accumulate over time
and across domains.
31
32. 32
We want to avoid negative feedback loops
A structural analysis is deeply relational and time
bound
◦ Example: the subprime crisis. ―People got bad loans.‖
A surface view solution: ―Stop giving people bad loans.‖
Contextualized view (SR analysis) solution: Fix the dual
credit market, stop spatial segregation/redlining, work
toward stable home-equity building, etc.

mutual, and cumulative.

35. Put your outcome first: what do you want to
achieve?
Work backwards from there … how do you achieve
it, for everyone?
Understand our linked fates
Talk about race – it is part of the American story
36. Our fates are linked, yet have been socially constructed as
disconnected through the categories of race, class, gender,
nationality, region…
Race is often envisioned as a system that separates groups
from each other with durable boundaries around each group
◦ This view supports the idea that disparities impacting one group have no
impact on others
In reality, these effects are far reaching and impact everyone –
we share a linked fate
37. o Bringing people into structures that
formerly excluded them may not be
enough
o Message is: individual is not properly
―negotiating‖ the ladder when the
ladder is too narrow or long … and
we’re climbing alone
Insensitive, perhaps hostile
structural arrangements
o We need to re-think structures
themselves
37
41. 41
Only 2% of emotional
cognition is available
to us consciously
Messages can be
―framed‖ to speak to
our unconscious
Racial bias tends to
reside in the
unconscious network
42. ◦ Racial attitudes operate in our ―unconscious‖
(also called ―subconscious‖) mind
◦ Usually invisible to us but significantly
influences our positions on critical issues
◦ Negative unconscious attitudes about race
are called ―implicit bias‖ or ―symbolic
racism.‖
