Location: 0236 TAWES
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation that explores anti-Black racism across diverse global contexts. This event will examine how anti-Blackness manifests in different regions, from systemic inequalities to cultural and social biases, and how our academic community builds global learning programming to connect with and attempt to address these issues directly with our global partners. Through insightful discussions, real-life examples, and expert perspectives, we will investigate the intersection of race, history, and policy, highlighting how local experiences of anti-Black racism connect to broader, global struggles. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the shared and unique challenges faced by Black communities globally and discuss strategies for solidarity, justice, and transformative change.
Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of these issues, considering partnering with a global partner or exploring ways to contribute to anti-racism efforts within your community, this event offers valuable insights and meaningful dialogue.
This event is co-hosted by the Anti-Black Racism Initiative, College of Education - Benjamin Professorship & Global Learning Initiatives.
