“What does it mean for Black children’s possibility, rather than their problems, to anchor efforts aimed at transforming their education experience?”

MISSION

The Possibilities Project is an arts-informed knowledge hub committed to improving Black students’ wellbeing in education and beyond.


VISION

The Possibilities Project...

  • Utilizes ARTISTIC EXPRESSION as a central mode of outreach and knowledge dissemination

  • Advances ACADEMIC UNDERSTANDING of the conditions necessary to resist the racialized harm characteristic of Black children’s education experience

  • Draws Inspiration from the ACTIVIST PHILOSOPHIES AND ORIENTATIONS of artists, orators, and intellectuals in the Black radical tradition


DESCRIPTION

Presently housed at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College of Education and Human Development, The Possibilities Project (TPP) generates, accumulates, and disseminates knowledge useful for advancing evidence-based Black Education solutions. TPP is a resource for—and convener of—policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and others doing work that extends and/or is informed by Black children’s possibility. This initiative leverages art, social networks, and diverse stakeholder expertise to further the Black freedom struggle for more humane education conditions.
