Season 8 Episode #23 When Schools Become Battlegrounds: Identity, Trauma, and the Story of Kelly with Dr. Barbara ‘Bobbi’ Sherrod
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a child’s identity becomes a target inside the very system meant to protect them?
In this powerful episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, host Jebeh Edmunds sits down with scholar and trauma expert Dr. Barbara “Bobbi” Sherrod, a contributor to the new book Identity-Based Mass Violence in Urban Contexts: Uncovered.
Dr. Sherrod shares the heartbreaking and illuminating story of Kelly, a student in Baltimore City Public Schools whose experiences reveal how racial identity, poverty, and systemic neglect collide inside our classrooms. This conversation explores how trauma is often mislabeled as behavior, how identity-based harm hides in plain sight, and what educators can do to intervene before children disappear into the margins.
If you care about trauma-informed teaching, racial equity, or creating safer schools, this is an episode you cannot miss.
Content Notice: This episode includes discussion of trauma and school-based harm.
Listen, reflect, and take action.
