IUW Journeys: Education, Learning, and Teaching

Intellect U Well, Inc., is hosting another "Intellect U Well Journeys" book event! This time, the theme is education, teaching, and learning, and the event will feature scholars who have written extensively on black culture and experiences related to subjects at all levels.


Dr. Latoya Hardman is the Vice President of Instruction at Lone Star College-Tomball. She has over 10 years of teaching experience at the high school and college levels and more than 10 years of community college leadership experience. She has worked as a college instructor, led academic initiatives, and expanded the college’s pre-collegiate programs. Before moving to the collegiate level, she taught English at Klein Forest High School for four years and at Bread and Roses Integrated Arts High School in New York City for three years. She will discuss her co-authored book Complete the Agenda in Higher Education: Challenge Beliefs about Student Success, a bold call to action to do more than improve community college completion rates but shift from a “completion-only-mindset” to the Beliefs Agenda (completion with GRIT) which may be critical for the future of America.



Dr. Jasmine L. Harris is an Associate Professor of African American Studies and coordinator of the African American Studies Program in the Department of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Texas, San Antonio. A rising voice in the study of Black lives in the United States, Dr. Harris's research and teaching focus on the experiences of Black people in predominantly white schools, specifically the social, physical, and economic impacts of their presence there. She has been published in the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, Boston Globe, Baltimore Sun, Women's Studies Quarterly, and the Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy. She will discuss her book Black Women, Ivory Tower: Revealing the Lies of White Supremacy in American Education, a first-of-its-kind compelling exploration of what it means to be a Black woman in higher education.


All are invited to come join the discussion!
