The challenging landscape in K-12 American education and in higher education in terms of access, equity and future effects of current federal and local policy and the law was the focus of this joint University Lectures/Landscape of Urban Education lecture.
Anderson and Trent are both professors of education policy studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Anderson is also department head. Between them, Trent and Anderson have given expert testimony in most of the major legal revisitations of school desegregation cases in the last 15 years.
Anderson's award-winning research has focused on the history of African American public higher education and the development of African American school achievement in the 20th century. He has also studied the history of African American education in the South from 1860-1935, the history of higher education desegregation in southern states, the history of public school desegregation, institutional racism, and the representation of Blacks in secondary school history textbooks.
He holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Stillman College, as well as a master's degree in history and social studies education and doctorate in history of education, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Trent is an internationally recognized researcher in the areas of educational inequality, race and ethnicity, and complex organization/social change/policy. He is a principal investigator for a comprehensive educational reform project focused on understanding the role of race, ethnicity, class and gender in school reform.
He holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from Union College, a master's degree in sociology from George Washington University and a doctorate in sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While in Syracuse, Anderson and Trent will meet with about 18 vice principals and administrators from the Syracuse City School District. They will share their expertise in a discussion about a broad range of topics, including the recent SCSD initiative to tackle low achievement rates in black males.

Author Lorene Cary discusses her first Young Adult book, FREE! , a collection of non-fiction Underground Railroad stories as compelling as the history they chronicle (Third World Press/New City Press). Cary says that she believes these twelve stories of ingenious and daring escapes 'allow our 21st-century minds to imagine actively the inner lives of enslaved people – and put ourselves in their places, not with shame, but compassion and respect.'
