The Blackboard

Black children experience racial and gendered bias that often leads to disproportionate punishment, surveillance, and criminalization in early learning spaces. Yet much of the research on these injustices remains locked in academic circles. The Blackboard bridges that gap. Hosted by Dr. Michelle DeJohnette, this podcast brings together scholars, educators, and families to reveal how systemic inequities shape Black children’s early learning experiences—and how we can disrupt them. Each episode blends research, resistance, and real stories to make scholarship accessible, actionable, and rooted in justice. Join us as we expose inequities, uplift voices, and imagine liberatory futures for Black childhood.
