He relies on his sense of touch, sometimes even painting with his fingers. He also uses his ears—jazz music is an obvious influence in his work. Mr. Blackwell says art is “useful in helping me cope, exist, and flourish in the society in which I live. It also helps me to use my blindness as an asset as opposed to being a defect.” His colorful drawings and paintings are delightful celebrations of life.

Under Mr. Guidi’s leadership, the small, local company gained an international reputation for its daring repertoire—and especially for its presentation of the works of Sergei Diaghilev, legendary founder of the Ballets Russes. Recently, Mr. Guidi joined dancer and choreographer Jeff Friedman for a series of interviews, resulting in a new book, Ronn Guidi: Sergei Diaghilev and the Original Oakland Ballet. In this oral history, Mr. Guidi discusses his work with the Oakland Ballet, the influences on his life in dance, and his revival of the historic works of Mr. Diaghilev that were revolutionary in their time and may have been lost without Mr. Guidi’s vision.

  • Growth & Opportunity
    ! A Framing Paper for the San Francisco Bay Area FOCUS Initiative June 2011 http://www.bayareavision.org http://citiesandschools.berkeley.edu Background With funding from the California Department of Transportation Blueprint Planning Grant awarded to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in 2009, the Center for Cities & Schools (CC&S) at the University of California-Berkeley has partnered with ABAG to support local and regional innovation connecting schools to the SCS process. The following questions frame the investigation: and investigate the following framing questions: What are the educational impacts of non-school policies, such as housing, transportation, and other regional planning investments? What are the impacts of educational efforts on non-school issues, such as housing choice, sustainable transportation utilization, and community-building opportunities? How do we align and leverage what have traditionally been separate and isolated interventions to achieve cross-sector “win-wins” or “co-benefits”? How can the region’s policy and practice interventions and investments in housing and transportation be made to strategically support improving school quality? Ultimately, this report is a first step to clearly articulate a framework and identify tangible policy levers at both the regional and municipal levels that realize the co-benefits of pursuing complete communities and high-quality education in tandem. Research Conducted by: Ariel H. Bierbaum, Program Director, CC&S Jeffrey M. Vincent, Deputy Director, CC&S Deborah L. McKoy, Executive Director, CC&S The Center for Cities & Schools at the University of California-Berkeley The Center for Cities & Schools is an action-oriented think tank, whose mission is to promote high quality education as an essential component of urban and metropolitan vitality to create equitable, healthy, and sustainable cities and schools for all.

    REDLINING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM: A COLLABORATIVE AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHY by Erika Emery A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctorate in Education Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice California State University, East Bay 2016 Copyright © by Erika Emery ii Erika Emery 2016 Educational Leadership REDLINING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM: A COLLABORATIVE AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHY Abstract Why is there a waiting list at the public school “across town?” Using a family’s home address to determine a student’s school placement mimics redlining tactics in real estate and limits educational accessibility. Critical Race Theory (CRT) provides a platform to challenge systems that perpetuate inequities that ultimately impact the educational experiences of specific races (Bell, 1995). Although research exploring the inequalities existing in the school system are plentiful, the conversation surrounding the impact one’s home address has on the decision making process of families is often overlooked. A multi-generational critical auto-ethnography of my own family presents authentic data as it relates to Black families’ experiences with educational redlining in Oakland, California. Inquiries were made to uncover what motivates parents to participate in the open enrollment process, even if the options to meet the needs of specific children are not available. An auto-ethnographic component provides additional insight into the generational impact educational redlining has on families. iii California State University, East Bay Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice This dissertation was presented by Erika F.
