Part of understanding race in America means understanding that anti-Blackness, ethnic discrimination, and colonialism are global issues. Acknowledging and addressing structural inequalities in the cultures that DWLLC and its constituent units represent, and how they advantage some and disadvantage others, is an essential part of our curricula and research programs, and innovative learning takes place in many forms. We look forward to a multidisciplinary dialogue and exchange of ideas concerning global ethnic and antiracism studies.
This three-day symposium will bring together leaders and scholars from across disciplines and geographic areas and engage them in an open dialogue about the opportunities that advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the academy provides.
Free and open to the public. https://international.uiowa.edu/race-ethnicity-language-and-culture-symposium#schedule-of-events | | | Other Upcoming Events and Deadlines | | | | | |
