In his talk "Doing Equity in Times of Dystopia" UCLA professor Tyrone C. Howard confronts the challenges of establishing genuine educational equity within a backdrop of societal dystopia. Despite the prevalent use of the term "equity" in education, there exists a stark disconnect between its theoretical importance and its practical implementation. Urging for an immediate and radical reexamination of educational practices, Howard argues for a transformative approach to equity as a mechanism to achieve true equality, correcting past wrongs, and fostering a just and fair educational environment for all students during these tumultuous times.
