Race Today: A Symposium on Race in America
Friday, February 27, 2015
Pembroke Hall, Room 305
172 Meeting Street
8am-6pm
In partnership with the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America
This day-long symposium brings a group of the nation’s most respected intellectuals on race, racial theory and racial inequality together to consider the troubling state of black life in America today.
What are the broader structural factors that shape race today? How do these factors work on the ground and institutionally and what are the consequences? What are the ideas about race, and racial identities that enable the normalcy of stark racial differences today? In particular, what role do key ideas such as “colorblindness” and “post race” play in shaping perception and outcomes? What can be done to challenge ideological and structural impediments to a racially egalitarian society?
Presented by the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice (CSSJ) and the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA). Co-sponsored by the Office of the President and the Office of Institutional Diversity.

Come to one, some, or all of the presentations!
