About this listen
In this episode of Twee Bat, we talk with Dr. Smita Weakland about how systemic racism shapes the everyday realities of teachers.
What looks like routine workplace culture—hiring pathways, evaluation, authority, credibility, belonging—often carries deeper histories. When educators begin to see those patterns, it can change how they understand their roles, their risks, and their possibilities for action.
Dr. Weakland offers language for experiences many teachers struggle to name and invites us to consider what recognition can open up, both individually and collectively.
In this conversation, we explore:
How systemic racism shows up in teachers’ professional lives
Why some dynamics feel invisible or inevitable
The emotional and professional stakes of noticing
What becomes possible when awareness is shared
This episode is for educators who want to better understand the system they’re working within—and how that understanding might shape what comes next.
