Racism in the 21st Century  What is changing about racial discrimination? What do phrases such as white privilege, post-racial, or new racism mean to you? Through interactive exercises this workshop will allow us to candidly address how we experience or witness racism differently based on our own social identities. We will consider what new critical race scholarship has to say about the future of the concept of race and the eradication of racism.

Friday, April 12, 3:30-4:30pm, Robert Scott Small Building, Room 248

Co-facilitators Dr. Ade Ofunniyin & Kristi Brian
