The Teacher Education Club at Canisius College will welcome Erika Meyer, of Entreculturas, to campus on Monday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the Regis Room (North) in the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center. Meyer will speak about social justice issues occurring in school systems both in the United States and abroad. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Entreculturas is an offshoot of the larger organization, Fey Algeria, which in Spanish translates to “faith and joy.” It is a well-known Jesuit-Hispanic organization that promotes social justice primarily in education. The organization builds and provides supplies to schools in Third World countries. Its main goal is to promote a better understanding of the injustices happening in education and to act as a change agent for a better system.
Erika Meyer is a projects officer for Entreculturas. She holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and international peace studies from the University of Notre Dame, and a master’s degree in social work and pastoral ministry from Boston College.
For more information on the Entreculturas lecture, contact Nicki M. Calabrese, PhD, associate professor of teacher education, at 888-2766 or email at calabren@canisius.edu.
