Panel: Leveraging Education as a Tool to End Generational Poverty

Chong-Hao Fu, Chief Executive Officer at Leading Educators, joined Carmita Semaan (Surge Institute, Founder and Chief Executive Officer), Sharif El-Mekki (The Center For Black Educator Development, CEO), Heather Harding (Campaign for our Shared Future, Executive Director), and Jeff Livingston (EdSolutions & The Center for Education Market Dynamics, CEO & Founder)at the 2023 ASU+GSV Summit to discuss leveraging education as a tool to end generational poverty.

Last year, a subset of this panel convened to discuss how anti-racism shows up in the work they do across sectors that support education. And in previous years, this panel has focused on how anti-racism can unfold in schools.

In 2023, Mr. Livingston reconvened a panel for part III: “Leveraging Education as a Tool to End Generational Poverty.” The panelists speak about moving from the practice of creating anti-racist work and initiatives to sharing more deeply about lifelong learning as a lever for eradicating generational poverty and gaining access to the future.
