Black Feminist Thought and the Miseduction of the Negro in 2012: Conditions of Poverty in Virginia
(Diversity)
This forum discusses the idea of miseducation coined by Black History Month Founder Carter G. Woodson to demonstrate how critical perspectives such as Black Feminist Thought are marginal in discussing important social problems in society. The problem of miseducation leaves students ill-equipped to search for solutions to everyday problems. This program challenges students to grasp that a sound understanding of an important social issue like poverty is important to a quality education at Virginia Tech, where we encourage students to be empowered to understand their social world and to work toward solutions and greater advocacy.
