Ethics
Symposium to Examine Age-Old School Problem
 Panelists
at a one-day symposium at Smith will explore a problem that
has played out—seemingly
forever—on school playgrounds and in hallways,
but lately has moved online, too.
“Ethics and Education: Bullying
in Schools and Equal Access to Quality Education,” the
title of the seventh annual Ethics Symposium hosted by the
philosophy department, will feature a panel on Thursday,
March 24, at 4 p.m. in Weinstein Auditorium, Wright Hall.
The panel will bring together
several Smith alumnae now employed in education, as teachers,
administrators and therapists. Hosted by John Connolly, professor
of philosophy, the panel will include:
- Janelle Banks Bradshaw ’00,
director of instructional equity, Cambridge Public
Schools
- Amy Christie ’01,
network director, Achievement First Public Charter
School
- Jennifer Jencks
SSW’95,
a therapist in Providence, R.I., who works with children
and adolescents on anxiety issues
- Kristy Gertsen
Keteitas ’88,
school-based therapist, Linkages to Learning
- moderated
by Sam Intrator, professor of education and urban studies

The
event is part of a Smith Alumnae Association three-day
conference, March 23 through 25. |
