DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bettina Love, author of "We Want to Do More than Just Survive," will 
 give a keynote with Q&A to follow regarding educational justice inspired by 
 the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists.\n\n\nAbout Dr. 
 Love\n\nDr. Bettina L. Love is an award-winning author and Athletic 
 Association Endowed Professor at the University of Georgia. She is one of 
 the field’s most esteemed educational researchers in the areas of how 
 anti-blackness operates in schools, Hip Hop education, and urban education. 
 Her work is also concerned with how teachers and schools working with 
 parents and communities can build communal, civically engaged schools 
 rooted in intersectional social justice for the goal of equitable 
 classrooms.\n\nFor her work in the field, in 2016, Dr. Love was named the 
 Nasir Jones Hiphop Fellow at the Hutchins Center for African and African 
 American Research at Harvard University. She is also the creator of the Hip 
 Hop civics curriculum GET FREE. In April of 2017, Dr. Love participated in 
 a one-on-one public lecture with bell hooks focused on the liberatory 
 education practices of Black and Brown children. In 2018, Georgia’s House 
 of Representatives presented Dr. Love with a resolution for her impact on 
 the field of education.\n\nDr. Love is a sought-after public speaker on a 
 range of topics, including: antiblackness in schools, Hip Hop education, 
 Black girlhood, queer youth, Hip Hop feminism, art-based education to 
 foster youth civic engagement, and issues of diversity and inclusion. In 
 2014, she was invited to the White House Research Conference on Girls to 
 discuss her work focused on the lives of Black girls. In addition, she is 
 the inaugural recipient of the Michael F. Adams award (2014) from the 
 University of Georgia. She has also provided commentary for various news 
 outlets including NPR, The Guardian, and the Atlanta Journal 
 Constitution.\n\nShe is the author of the books We Want To Do More Than 
 Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom and 
 Hip Hop’s Li’l Sistas Speak: Negotiating Hip Hop Identities and 
 Politics in the New South. Her work has appeared in numerous books and 
 journals, including the English Journal, Urban Education, The Urban Review, 
 and Journal of LGBT Youth. In 2017, Dr. Love edited a special issue of the 
 Journal of Lesbian Studies focused on the identities, gender performances, 
 and pedagogical practices of Black and Brown lesbian educators.\n
