Anti-Blackness and the Academy: Where do we go next?

Join us for a conversation to reflect on anti-Black systemic racism and what we can do in the UCI School of Humanities to address these issues. This event is inspired by calls for white and non-Black people to step up and do the work to eradicate anti-Black racism.
