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?

This program is hybrid. Registration required for Zoom: https://boston-public-library.zoom.us/meeting/register/0GdGOBRrRnOGX3S7tbZY5w#/registration
