Join UMass Boston's Nick Juravich, author of Para Power: How Paraprofessional Labor Changed Education, in conversation with Sharon O'Dwyer and Cythnia Ferris, BTU Paraprofessional Council members from South Boston, for a conversation about "para power" past, present, and future.
Where did this job — that of "paraprofessional educator" — come from, and how has it evolved? How have these educators organized in the past, and how has their work transformed both education and the labor movement?
