Book launch
Apr 27, 2026 — 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Join us for an evening of conversation, reflection, and celebration as we launch Becoming an Antiracist Educator, a powerful collection honouring the enduring legacy of historian Timothy J. Stanley. Come celebrate this important contribution and join a community committed to antiracist education and relational futures.
Description
This timely volume brings together scholars, educators, and community advocates whose work has been shaped by Stanley’s groundbreaking contributions to understanding racism, racialization, and historical consciousness in Canada. Spanning generations and disciplines, the contributors offer deeply personal and politically engaged reflections that connect Stanley’s scholarship to urgent contemporary realities.
From the toppling of colonial statues and the resurgence of anti-Asian racism, to ongoing reckonings with residential schooling and unmarked graves, this collection invites us to confront how histories are told, whose stories are remembered, and how education can become a site of ethical responsibility and transformation.
More than a tribute, Becoming an Antiracist Educator is a call to action. It challenges educators, researchers, and community members to rethink how we teach, learn, and live together. With a moving epilogue by Timothy J. Stanley himself, the book offers both an archive of influence and a roadmap for continuing this work with courage, care, and accountability.
